Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, it is necessary to level your machine
with a precision level.
Bolting to concrete floors
lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (
figure 13) are two popular methods for
anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug-
gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.

using Machine Mounts
using machine mounts, shown in
figure 14, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.
11. review the information in the following sub-
section,
Mounting to Shop floor, and select
a mounting method.
12. to ensure accurate results from your lathe,
use a machinist's precision level to make the
lathe bedway exactly level from side-to-side
and from front-to-back. if necessary, use
shims between the cabinets and floor.
Note:
Re-check the bedway after 24 hours,
after two weeks, then annually to make sure
it remains level.

NOTICE
The gap is installed, then ground at the fac-
tory during lathe assembly for precise fit
and alignment. factors during the assembly
apply additional forces to the gap, making
replacing the gap to the original position
very difficult. If you choose to remove the
gap, we DO NOT recommend replacing it.
