Assembling the Floor Stand
Important: All nuts and bolts should only be fastened finger tight until assembly is
complete.
Using the coach bolts, nuts and plain washers, fix the four legs to the tray, noting that
the legs are left and right handed. Bolt on the top plates, which fit inside the legs.
Square up the assembly and tighten all the nuts and bolts.
Fitting the Lathe to the Stand
Lift (two people are required for
this stage) the lathe bed,
complete with headstock,
tailstock and tool rest on to the
stand (Fig. 2)
Line up the fixing holes in the
bed with those in the stand and
join the two with the 8 long cap
head bolts, spring washers and
nuts. Once all 8 are in place,
tighten them firmly.
