Setting up a 1228

One last questions for all of you: The bolts to hold the tool to the table should be 1/2", correct?
The mounting studs included are M12, you could probably squeeze 1/2 in there, but I don't remember how much clearance there was in the holes

I could and I did!
Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all the help. The lathe got here today and is now resting comfortably on it's table. I got the 1/2" bolts from home depot only to find that they actually included bolts in with all the tooling and if Ihadn't managed to drill one of the holes crooked, it would have been a piece of cake. Unfortunately, the it turns out that the 1/2" sleeve for the drill guide I have is a bit undersized so I had to freehand it and things were a little off. Oh, well. It's here now and that all that matters.
Thanks again.
