Hi folks,
My wife is getting into woodturning and we are building a bench now and she has a Nova3000 on order. Her tutor has a lathe which is set up on blocks (approx 2-3"). under the mounts. I have not been able to find any information on the web on this type of mounting system.
I have seen the recommendations about spinidle height, etc so I know the height above the floor the spindle should be, but I was wondering about the mounting blocks and levelling and so on. My wife sees the blocks as a good thing because it will give her space under the bed for laying chisels and tools, etc while she is turning.
Now calling on the collective wisdom on this forum for advice / opinions.
