heavy-duty levelers
Anybody have a source for heavy duty leveling feet?
The application is to level my currently in-progress workbench. It will be a beast (of the design favored by Frank Klausz in The Workbench Book) except mine will have fully loaded drawers beneath. So it will be *heavy*. I found a couple of small sources, wondering if you guys know of any. TIA, Joe C. |

TIA, Joe C. the closest hardware store. get 4 beefy lag bolts, say 5/8 x 12. bore up from the bottom of the leg and run them in so that an inch or so of the head sticks out. tune the bench to level with a wrench. |

I skipped the tail vise and went with a Twin Screw. http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/...CBbench33.html and it's heavy. Unless you like laying on the floor with two wrenches you should try the levelers adjustable from above with an allen wrench. Glued some 80 grit to the bottom so the bench can't slide around on my epoxy coated cement floor.

Wow Charlie.... I was interested in the leveling devices as I am going
to build my new large bowl lathe stand soon.... Then I forgot all about it when I saw your bench. What a masterpiece! Not only is it functional and well thought out, but it is gorgeous. Really nice work, sir. Robert |
