Lathe Leveling Foot Pads

[Mikebr5]

I know what you mean Paul... Lathes are so top heavy that they -seem- like they could benefit by a wider stance.
Has your lathe shown any instability with just the fine feet that you built, or are you just looking to make it more stable just because?
I've barely been tempted to extend the supports on other machines but I hate catching my toe on things that stick out so much- drives me almost nutty.
