G0456 Variable Speed Wood Lathe

Mounting Lathe
The lathe bed and stand are separated for ship-
ping safety purposes. We recommend positioning
the stand in the final location for the lathe before
mounting the lathe bed. L-brackets are also pro
-
vided for floor mounting.
When lifting the lathe, use a forklift and lifting
straps—and have another person on the ground
to steady the lathe while moving, so the lathe
doesn't swing uncontrollably.
