I'm about ready to pull the trigger as I like the fact of this
pivoting also which may help to with my back issues.
The one remaining question is the stand and the weight of this lathe.
If I build a stand out of 8/4 maple and weight it down somehow should
this be as good as the case iron
legs they sell for it. I currently have my shopsmith anchored down to
the floor using 3" screws into the concrete floor to prevent

My Home-brew stand is made from 2x6 and 2x8 stock. With a 1-1/4 MDF
top and a sand box below. Takes a fairly un-balanced load to rock the
boat
