here is what we came up with out of scrap iron we had. if this doesn't do the trick after I bolt it to the floor I will pour a concrete base after the addition is built. we will see. I still have a lot of work to do to this base, but after day 1 this is what we have. Lee

not sure why the pic isn't shown but copy and paste and you will see it.
the new heavy 10 has a 1 5/8 dia hole through the head stock and the swing is 10 3/4" Lee

Just give it a try. Thats all we can do
Here is what we came up with. Steel tubing. I will say I am not 100% satisfied at this point, but for the time being this will get me started. I don't have anything but time invested so I wont complain just yet. We are in the process of building a new bigger machine shop. One the shop is finished I will most likely pour some concrete pillars for this little lathe.
I will say that this lathe is super cool. Very smooth, and quiet. this machine is 3 phase with a built in VFD. Works extremely well. The German made gears are a delight to listen to. I am impressed with the machine. Time will tell all, as I haven't done much on this lathe yet. Matter a fact. I just got the chuck machined and mounted today. I cut a little stainless this afternoon and the cuts were smooth. Ill play more tomorrow. Lee

As long as the back end moves just like the front end itll be good. They have lathes on ships.
