does not interfere with assembly.
2. Thread the tool rest lock handles into the tool
rest base (Figure 10) until the threaded ends of
the handles are flush with the inside of the shaft.

"
The base of this machine has mounting holes that
allow it to be fastened to a workbench or other
mounting surface to prevent it from moving during
operation and causing accidental injury or damage.
The rubber feet on this machine must be removed
before bench mounting.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount"
(see Figure 8) where holes are drilled all the way
through the workbench—and hex bolts, washers,
and hex nuts are used to secure the machine in place.

Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see Figure 9)
where the machine is secured directly to the work-
bench with lag screws and washers.
