Stand Legs (optional accessory)
1. At this point the headstock, tailstock and tool
rest should be removed. With help from
another person, lift the lathe bed and place
onto a workbench.
2. Angle lathe bed so that stand leg mounting
holes are accessible, see Figure 2.
3. Thread adjustable feet (A, Fig. 2) into stand
leg (B, Fig. 2). There is a flat spot on the
shaft near the foot that will accommodate a
wrench. Thread a hex nut (C, Fig. 2) onto
shaft and leave loose for now.
4. Mount the leg to lathe bed with four 5/16” flat
washers and four 5/16”-18 x 1-1/2” hex
socket cap screws (D, Fig. 2).
5. Repeat for the other leg.
6. Adjust the feet so that the lathe rests evenly
on the floor, and tighten the nuts.
7. Reinstall headstock, tailstock and tool rest.
Stand Shelf
You can make an extra shelf that rests between
the legs if you wish, see Figure 3. It will be
useful for storing lathe accessories, or adding
sand bags for some extra weight. The two 2x4’s
should be 55-3/4” long. The plywood should be
ripped into two equal pieces 27-13/16”L x 17”W
so that it can be assembled between the legs.
Use screws to attach the plywood to the 2x4
supports.
