Hi All,
I notice that MSC/Enco has this Kennedy bench (W5405XUGW) on sale at $639. It appears to me like this would make a good stand for a PM1228 (which I plan or order, ... and keep planning to order, ... any day now):
The height is 34.5", and top width is 20". Seems about right for the for the lathe. I am a little concerned that the base is probably around 18" wide - I want to minimize instability, especially if I need to 'walk' the stand + lathe around a bit to get it into final position.
I like the combination of shelves and drawers, and for $339 more than the 'stock' stand Matt sells it seems like an OK deal.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Perhaps the Kennedy reputation has my attention and I am better off with a Harbor Freight lower box like Franco used?
Opinions and blunt advice welcomed!
