Hi All
I've been swamped at work and havent gotten around to building a stand for my Rikon 70-220VSR. I have a Ryobi mitersaw stand that is 63" long and 27" wide when measured at the bottom of the legs. The lathe measures 37" wide and 9" deep. Using 2 layers of 3/4" plywood I can easily mount the lathe to this stand.
It is too tall for me at 37", but I could cut the legs down so the total height of the stand is 22" tall. The legs would still be splayed out measuring 17-18 inches at the bottom. What do ya think, is that enough depth at the bottom to keep things stable while turning? Would modifying this stand do the trick?? It would definately get me up and running faster.
Thoughts & Thanks
George
