    King 12 x 36 question

    That was what I had in mind, but I couldn't find one 66" wide so I was looking at two 36" boxes fastened together. My bigger issue was the depth of the box being too narrow. reinforcing the bottom hadn't crossed my mind tho. I do have access to 1" thick plywood that may help to stabilize things...

    King 12 x 36 question

    I do like that design. A person could design it the tool cabinets minus the wheels could fit inside... How beneficial would it be to add a couple pieces of 1/2" plate below the areas the lathe bolts too? I couldn't tell by your pictures if you had done that.

    King 12 x 36 question

    That hadn't crossed my mind... good point. This brings a question to mind. I'm presuming (because we all know what assuming gets you...LOL) that the weight of the base adds rigidity versus just being strong enough to hold the object off the floor, correct? I'm not sure the weight of the King...

    King 12 x 36 question

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    There are some really good lists here. i think every time I get a newer/better tool I say that. I think I could probably list all the tools I have. However, if I had to pick the top 5, 1-lathe 2-mill 3-cordless tools (quality 18v stuff, not the first generation stuff) 4- 2 x 72 belt grinder I...

    King 12 x 36 question

    Thanks for your reply. May I ask what reservations you have? I realize its creeping up on the 1000 lb mark and one of my concerns is the base being narrower than the lathe itself which may cause some instability, but since its a few weeks away I am just exploring my options.

    King 12 x 36 question

    I have just ordered a 12 x 36 lathe from the local King dealer. I am hoping someone that has one of these can help me out with measuring the size of the "feet" on the lathe. I know it comes with a stand, but as space is of a premium in my shop I was planning to place two roller cabinets with a...

    A "quick" project

    We had one of those for our "workhorse". It had a pretty impressive amount of power and torque compared to the other smaller two cylinder JD's we had.
