I'm building a table for my 11x24 Logan/Powermatic lathe. After
seeing the recent posts on lathes tumbling over, I'd appreciate the group's advice on how wide apart to put the feet. I don't expect to move it much, but don't want it to be tippy when I do. I'm in a small space so no wider than necessary. The table will be brazed steel (two 4x4x.120 tubes for the main rails, ~2x2s for the legs, etc.), with sand in the 4x4s. The 1.5HP motor will be mounted below. I can add ballast if needed. I am thinking of putting the spindle CL at ~45" off the floor--reasonable? (I'm 6'0") What feet width would give enough stability w/o being excessive? Thanks, David |
