to Step 7. Otherwise, move the tailstock, tool
rest assembly, and headstock to one end of
the lathe bed (see the OPERATIONS sec-

moving these components).
5. Use assistants to lift the light end of the lathe
onto support blocks in preparation for install-
ing the machine feet (see Figure 13).
6. Insert the machine feet into the mounting
holes of the supporting legs, as shown in
Figure 14. Do not tighten the top hex nut yet.
Repeat Steps 5–6 on the other legs.

7. Place a level on the lathe bed and make nec-
essary adjustments so that the bed is level
from side-to-side and front-to-back.
—If you are using the machine feet, adjust
the top and bottom hex nuts on each leg to
level the bed; then tighten the hex nuts to
secure these adjustments.
—If you are bolting your lathe to the floor, use
shims under the legs to level the bed; then
tighten the mounting fasteners.

tighten the tool rest lock lever (see Figure
