PM25mv Stand is wobbling around on the floor help

I had a similar issue with my lathe. The cabinet's supplied for the stand had the leveling screw holes several inches in from the edges of the cabinets which, In my opinion, were two narrow to start with. I made a set of extension legs from 4"x 1" x .187 wall steel tube, made angled cuts and raised the ends high enough to allow the use of some 3" diameter aluminum feet under 5/8 fine thread leveling screws. I made threaded bushings and welded them into the tube for strength where the leveling screws went and also where the factory screw holes were in the cabinets to allow them to be bolted to these extension legs. The added width and ability to get pressure on all the aluminum feet made the machine much more stable.
