Do Clausing Colchester lathes have holes in the bottom for bolting to

want to see if I can use heavy stem casters instead of making a wooden

Thanks


Having wheels uder a lathe, and expecting it to do work any better
than crude, is delusional.

Not to mention how much fun it will be to be in close quarters with
it, if it gets running unbalanced.

Seems a good way to keep from getting anything done, if you have to
spend an hour or three getting the machine set up after each move.

Short answer. Really bad idea.

Bolt the damn thing doew somewhere, and work around it if you must.
