Assembling Base to Column
1.) Locate one Base (part #1) and one Column (part
#9).
2.) Install two bolts (part #10) and two washers (part
#11) through the Column flange and into the Base.
3.) Add two washers (part #11) and two hex nuts
(part #12) to the bolts underneath the Base. (Fig.
01)
4.) Repeat steps to complete the second Base and
Column assembly.
Installing Extension Supports to Base and
Column Assembly
1.) Make sure that feet of both base and column
assemblies are pointing outward.
2.) Assemble the Inside Extension Support bracket
(part #15) to the inside of the left Base and Column
assembly. Install two bolts (part #10) and two
washers (part #11) through the Column and into
the Inside Extension Support bracket flange. Add
two washers (part #11) and two hex nuts (part
#12) to the bolts through the flange of the Inside
Extension Support bracket. (Fig. 02)
3.) Assemble the Outside Extension Support
bracket (part #14) to the inside of the right Base
and Column assembly. Install two bolts (part #10)
and two washers (part #11) through the Column
and into the Outside Extension Support bracket
flange. Add two washers (part #11) and two hex
nuts (part #12) to the bolts through the flange of
the Outside Extension Support bracket. (Fig. 03)

Connecting and Adjusting the Extension
Supports
1.) Slip the Inside Extension Support bracket (part
#15) into the Outside Extension Support bracket
(part #14).
2.) Add two bolts (part #16) and two hex nuts (part
#17) to the welded hex nuts located on the Outside
Extension Support bracket (part #14). (Fig. 04)
3.) Only hand-tighten at this point, secure after the
length of the mini-lathe has been determined.
Determining Proper Lathe Height
1.) Install the Mounting Brackets (part #13) to the
top of both Columns (part #9) using two bolts (part
#10) and two washers (part #11). (Fig. 05)
Add two washers (part #11) and two hex nuts (part
#12) to the bolts. Hand-tighten at this point until
proper lathe height has been determined.
2.) Next, measure the distance from the base of
the lathe to the point on the live center. (Fig. 06)
3.) Measure the distance from your elbow to the
floor.
4.) Subtract the lathe height measurement from
the elbow height measurement. This number
represents the approximate height of the lathe
stand.
Example: 1143 mm (elbow to floor) -317.5 mm (base
to live center) = 825.5 mm (stand height).
