I built a triple laminated ,4x6 fir stand for my stubby lathe(lathe weighs 900 lbs)reinforced with 1/4" steel plates.I though about wood, but it would have to be sturdy. Probably 4x4s and 2x8s with steel plates on top and steel caps on the bottoms of the 4x4s.
Might be doable.
I think the sheet metal stand with my 1340gt is a little more ridgid than the wood stand I built.
