Delta X5 Steel Bed Lathe, ballast question.
it may make good ballast if you put it just above the
keel.  )just kidding. Picked up my new lathe yesterday and will assemble it today. Some of you who have one of these or know somebody who operaates one, I have a question. The manual talks about filling the pedistal legs with sand for ballast. Generally people do this with good results. Add ballast to their lathes, that is. Often just bags of sand in the stand. Does anybody have any knowledge about the difference it has made on these delta steel bed lathes? If so what was the difference and what sort of things did they make? Any thoughts? |
