Assembly
To assemble your lathe:
1. Stand the right and left supporting legs up
approximately 47" apart, and get them rea-
sonably aligned, as shown in Figure 11.
The G0632 and its com-
ponents are very heavy.
Get lifting help or use
power lifting equipment
such as a fork lift to move
heavy items.
Figure 11. Stand legs approximately 47" apart to
prepare for mounting the lathe.
2. Using the help of assistants, carefully lift the
lathe onto the stands and align the mounting
holes.
Note: The headstock end of the lathe is the
heaviest and usually requires two people for
lifting that end.
Although not required, we recommend that you
bolt your new lathe to the floor. Because this
is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, machine feet are included with your lathe.
Generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on the included machine feet.
Whichever option you choose, we recommend
leveling your machine with a precision level.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor
studs (see Figure 10) are two popular methods
for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We
suggest you research the many options and meth-
ods for mounting your machine and choose the
best that fits your specific application.

NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
