Assembly
With the exception of the handwheel handles, the
lathe is shipped fully assembled.
To install the handwheel handles, thread the
large handle into the carriage handwheel and the
small handle into the cross slide handwheel, as
shown in Figure 20.
To level the machine, use a precision level to
make sure the bedways are level from side-to-
side and from front-to-back.
— If using the included leveling pads (see
Figure 18), place them under the six
leveling jack bolt locations, then adjust
the bolts to level the lathe.
— If using mounting hardware that does not
allow for adjustment, level the lathe by
placing metal shims between the lathe
base and the floor before bolting it down.

and Anchor
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(below), are two popular methods for bolting
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.

Most electrical codes require that machines
