advisability of using a mobile base with a lathe ...
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 -- --Andy BArss |
