Greetings Hobby Machinists,
I've been lurking around for a while and now it's time to get my lathe setup.
My original idea was to mount the lathe to a 3/8" steel plate and set it upon a tanker desk.
I have the plate nearly ready minus a few motor mount holes but I've decided to use the desk as a desk.
So what should it be,massive timber construction or svelt steel tubing (perhaps rectangular)?
The lathe will have a regular home location and should'nt need to be moved around (I think ).
Thanks for any input you may have.
Jay
P.S. Oh sure,now I see the lathe mounting threads in the other forums (Doh!)
