I've made up 6 feet out of 50mm round bar with a recessed buttom and a 14.5mm (10mm deep) hole in the top to accept the 9/16" bolts that I have on hand.
My question is what is the best way of attaching them to the bottom of my lathe because the existing holes are not threaded.
Is nuts and washers each side of the mounting point with the bolt just sitting in the hole going to be enough or is there a different approach?
Lathe roughly weights around 800 to 1000kgs
