since you have the outboard turning stand, why raise the lathe?


Sometimes its just better to use the tailstock on the big stuff.

Here is the website of a guy that built his own riser for an older
Powermatic lathe.

This page shows the design of such a riser block and the matching
tailstock riser.

If you did a more extensive internet search you might find a riser
block set for sale or maybe someone that will build you one.
