the lathe itself weighs 200lb and the bench im building weighs about
another 100lb. is that enough to make it not dance with me while
turning big off center/not balanced pieces? or should i fill the two
pockets i made with sand to add another 50lb total?


Mine has a metal frame. It is bolted to two two by fours which are glued
to the concrete floor with silicone. It never dances but can still shimmy.
