I'm outfitting a new shop, which will include my Nova 3000.
The shop is medium sized, so I'm putting every machine I can onto
a mobile base (bandsaw, tablesaw, jointer, etc). I'm considering
mounting the lathe on a mobile base with lacking casters. I'm
seeking advice, Should I --


a) forget the idea entirely, and mount the lathe to a really stable
base;

b) put the lathe stand on a god-quality (= 1200 pound capacity)
mobile base;

c) do (b), but also set it up so that I have the
stand immobilized on something like elevator bolts when not
being moved.


Advice appreciated --

Well, Andy... if you do decide to put the lathe on a mobile base, and
you decide to rough turn a nice size piece of wood, let me know so I
can see your lathe go shooting out the door and into your brand new
car. I'm going to bring my video camera so that I will win best video
on America's funniest home videos. Then I'll buy another 3520a....


In other words...NO!!!!
