The hole in the pedestal (C) Fig.6 can be used to fill the

pedestal with sand or concrete to provide more ballast.

NOTE: If sand is used, pour a small amount of concrete

or similar material in the pedestal to prevent sand leak-

age through the seams.

ATTACHING LATHE BED

TO PEDESTALS

Fig. 5

1. Remove tailstock, headstock, and tool rest from the

lathe bed. NOTE: See “ADJUSTING HEADSTOCK AND

TAILSTOCK” and “TOOL REST” for removal/installation

instructions.

2. Set pedestals exactly 58” apart (Fig. 5).

3. Because of the weight, use an assistant to place the

lathe bed on top of the pedestals. Make sure that the

holes in the lathe bed are aligned with the holes in the

tops of the pedestals (Fig. 6) A and B.

4. Attach the lathe bed to the pedestals, using the

twelve 3/8-16 x 3/4” Hex Head bolts and lock washers.

In addition to showing the location of the bolt (A) Fig. 7

also shows that additional ballast can be added in the

lathe bed (B). Steel bars, or other heavy material can be

inserted into the lathe bed to provide more weight.

NOTE: Use a good quality furniture wax on the lathe

bed (C) Fig. 7 to allow for smoother movement of the

headstock, tool rest, and tailstock and to prevent rust.

ATTACHING END CAPS

Attach the end caps, (A) Fig. 8, to both ends of the lathe

with 1/4-20 x 1/2” button head screws (A) Fig. 9 (out-

side) the lathe bed through the end caps to the 1/4-20

flange nut (inside) (B) Fig. 8 .

NOTE: The flange nut can easily be dropped while

attaching the endcap. To prevent loss of the flange nut,

use a small piece of cardboard or other material to cover

the hole in the pedestal.
