We recommend that you bolt your lathe to the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. Since this is a precision machine, it is important to level the machine with a precision level when mounting.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 6) and anchor studs (Figure 7) are two popular meth- ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.

Refer to the Base parts breakdown on Page 61 for a detailed illustration and parts identification during the following assembly.

To assembly the cabinet base:

1.Prepare the lathe location, and drill the holes for your floor mounting fasteners.

2.Position the left and right cabinets approxi- mately 34" apart in the prepared location.

3.Secure the front panel brackets to the cabi- nets with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips head screws and flat washers.

4.Install the front panel onto the panel brackets with four M6-1 x 10 Phillips head screws, flat washers, and hex nuts.

5.With the cabinet base securely resting on the floor at your location, shim between the floor and base as required to make the base assembly level from side-to-side and front-to- back as indicated with a level.

6.Secure the cabinet base to the floor, but DO NOT overtighten the fasteners.
