Setup 3 ( mounted to side of the lathe bed)
The extension bed can be mounting to one side of the lathe
bed, this feature allows you to use the headstock at a set angle
for turning bowls and gives the user more flexibility.
Position the extension bed so the holes line up with the ones
on the mounting plate and secure in place as described on the
previous setups, see fig 30-31-32.
