Anchoring to Floor
4. Shim between lathe and chip pan as neces-
sary to level the ways at all four corner loca-
tions (refer to Leveling on Page 23).
5.
For best results, recheck ways in 24 hours
to make sure they are still level and have not
twisted. Re-shim as required.
2.
Follow Steps 4–8 in Lifting & Placing on
Page 21, raise lathe up as needed and install
anchor studs (see Figure 19) in concrete
floor.
3.
Lower lathe into position so anchor studs
slide into holes in cabinets, then secure
anchor studs with hex nuts and flat washers
(see Figure 19).

For the ultimate in heavy machine stabilization,
these mounts feature easy setting, fast leveling,
and vibration and noise reduction. Large rubber
foot pads distribute weight evenly and long mount-
ing studs provide a wide range of leveling adjust-
ment. Sold individually. Stud size: M12-1.75 x 72.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connect-
ed (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we rec-
ommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
