21 forum posts | This afternoon I did what a few recommended . I bought some longer mounting bolts and added a 18mm thick piece of ply inside the cabinet ceiling. I retried the offending piece of un-turned steel and all was well. Martin, Although I mentioned putting a heavyish piece of stock in the chuck that really caused a wobble, I did not actually need to even put anything in the chuck or even run the lathe, you could see the flex by just pushing the lathe backwards and forwards. Thanks for all your help on this chaps, now I have ironed out all the teething problems I can have fun turning.

90 forum posts 2 photos | The drip tray has a void underneath it...I think this may be to fit flush on the Warco cabinets....I cut a piece of plywood slightly thicker than the void to fill the whole space...thus lifting the tray slightly off the bench I made... if you’ve mounted the lathe directly on top of the tray without anything between the bench and tray it won’t be solid.. |
