Raising the height of a Schaublin 13
I own a Schaublin 13 and I am finding it is just that bit too low to the ground. Im not overly tall at 6ft, but with the table all the way down (which often can be the case) it is a stretch to reach for the z-axis handle for example. In general, I think it would work and feel better being about 150mm higher?
The original manual seems to suggest erecting a concrete foundation for the machine to sit upon. This seems like a fair bit of work. I also think it would be handy to still have access to underneath the machine by only supporting each of the four corners of the base. I thought make a steel base, or even just using concrete blocks underneath each foot. Levelling feet is another way to go but 150mm is a fair bit so I would need to modify the design to avoid having chicken feet.
This machine is the older design, so with the table and accessories/work on the table I dont think it would weigh over 600kg. The machine wont need to be moved from this position for the foreseeable future.
After the brains trust and some thoughts.
