The lathe came with two riser extentions that the lathe can bolt to and then 2 bolts hold the risers thru pre drilled holes in the drip pan.
They are poorly made(hollow welded sheet not cast iron) and not level has anybody else used them? I don't want to stress the cast bed and twist it.
Any low cost Suitable true and square items I could use for risers easily available ??
The one feed handle does not clear the table in the down position with out the risers unless I mount the lathe closer to front edge of table I will use...but then there are holes in the drip pan that will leak the cutting fluids
