Mounting

Once you have confirmed that your machine is running properly, you may decide to mount it to a workbench. Simply remove the adjustable feet and mount it through the holes in the base.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the drill press to the workbench.

Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the work- bench with a lag screw.

Whichever method you choose, it is crucial that the workbence is perfectly flat. Mounting the lathe to a surface that is not flat may cause the lathe bed to warp. Make sure all four corners are sitting firmly on the workbench and, if necessary, use shims to level the lathe and prior to mounting.

Do not overtighten the mounting fasteners as this may crack the cast iron feet.
