Lathe Leveling Foot Pads

[Paul Jones]

Thank you. I still want to make the lathe a little more stable in the lateral direction. I think the footpads are too close together for optimum stability. One of these days I plan to attach sections of 4"x4" angle bar at the headstock and tailstock ends. The angle bars will extend approximately 3" beyond the front and back sides of the lathe cabinet, angle bar will be drilled and tapped for the same leveling bolts, and use the foot pads for height adjustments.
