Could this hurt the lathe?

Maybe put a side load on the bearings or something?

I agree with Bill H so I won't dwell on that...

I think Level in the "gravimetric" sense might be optimal if you keep=20
tools on the bench. (Level in the mathematical sense would allow a=20
"slope" -- according to gravity.)

Since I routinely wear sandals, I appreciate it when the tools do not=20
roll off the bench (none so far thank you).

So I would prefer the strict sense of the word level.

Since the earth is flat -- as we all know Level is easy to achieve --=20
Just line your table up with the basement (garage) floor -- which as=20
well all know is built level - i.e. co-planar with the earth.

This is not my $.02 worth -- I figure a farthing would do if someone=20
would pay.

Anyway my wife says I gotta go get an XRAY cause I have a lump in my=20
cheek...
