ATTACHING LEG INSERTS
The lathe is supplied with four leg inserts, one of which is shown (A) Fig. 10.
To attach the leg inserts to the pedestals, place one side in the hole provided and gently tap the other side, top, and bottom with a rubber mallet (B) Fig. 10.
Attach the Headstock (D) Fig. 11, Tool Rest (E), and Tailstock (F) to the lathe bed (G). Notice the tool and centers storage areas located at (H), and brackets on the pedestals to accept a 2 x 12” shelf (not supplied) (J) Fig. 11.
If additional stability is desired, insert a 4 x 4 (A) Fig. 11 into the pedestal base (B) Fig. 11.
NOTE: You may have to cut a groove in the 4x4”s to allow the lumber to pass underneath the head of the carriage bolt.
Fasten the 4 x 4’s to the floor.
