What size leveling feet

[Aukai]

2500lb mill that I'm raising with 6 x 6 .250 wall box tubing. I know weight ratings, but what about foot diameter?

I have my 4000 lb Cincinnatti horizontal sitting on 3 inch diameter leveling feet... 5/8" bolts, with the rubber pads on the bottom.

Is that the separate disc that a bolt rests in the dished top?

 

[682bear]

No, the bolt is connected to the foot with a swivel...







IIRC, they are rated at 1500 lbs each... so 6000 lbs for a set of 4.

You could do a nice setup with 4 hockey pucks backed by discs of the same diameter.

I stand corrected... they are supposed to be rated at 5000 lbs each... per the online specs.

These are Snaplock LP3 levelling feet, purchased on ebay...

Might look at S&W leveling feet, I use 1/2" on my mill they are usually rated to 5-6,000 lbs, But I prefer the 5/8 thread size as a bit more meat and heavier threads. I used the 5/8" on my last lathe.

I made these for an 800lb surface grinder. I am sure they are capable of a 6000lb rating.
I sanded the chamfer/radius on the corners

How do you all feel about making some feet out of 2.5 inch dia brass?
