Lathe Stand Mod
I saw a gentlemean had posted recently about building a completely new lathe stand, and like what he did.
I, unfortunately don'y ahve time , yet, to do such a project, but I did want to raise my lathe, away from the tray, to make it more comfortable to use ( I'm 186 cm )
and make cleaning under the tray alot easier, so I'm going to make some Risers.
Had to measure the actual lathe feet to get correct hole locations etc, as they weren't in the manual.
I'm going to use 100mm of "6 pipe and 100mm of 8" pipe and weld plates on either side.
Will machine the pipes square and the same size before I assemble. Not sure if I should get them skimmed on a mIll so they are exactly the same height?
More work to do but will post more when I do it.
Can post plate dimensions if anyones intersted. Lathe is a AL-335.
