Does a lathe stand HAVE to be level?
I don't think this is a critical question, but it does sort of worry me...
Does anyone know of a downside for the lathe to have one end of the stand/table higher than the other? My Jet mini usually sits level on the stand, but if I'm hollowing something, especially if it's small and deep, I've been putting a 4x4 under the tail stock end of the lathe so this ol' back bends less... Could this hurt the lathe? Maybe put a side load on the bearings or something? mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
