Setting Up Your Machine
Overview
Moving a machine tool can be dangerous. Improper techniques and methods
may injure you and/or damage the machine. To find a professional to move
and site your Smithy machine to look in your local Yellow Pages under
“Machine Tools, Moving and/or Rigging.” If there is no such listing or your
community does not have a rigging specialist, a local machine shop or
machinist may be able to provide a referral.
Remember to use caution when moving your new Smithy.
Site selection
Before mounting the machine, select a sight that affords easy access to the
machine and is clear of obstructions.
The floor should be as level as possible and sturdy enough to support the
machine and stand.
Mount machine to a sturdy table on a solid concrete foundation. Smithy's 80-
055 stand has holes drilled to accommodate the hole pattern of the MI-1440
Lathe.
If your plans are to make your own stand, please reference the hole pattern
shown above.
Before mounting your machine, make sure that the location is adequately
suited for the machine. Allow enough clearance in the back to access the
electrical box and enough clearance on the sides of the machine to allow for
full X-Axis travel.
