<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 191129, member: 54"]Not a time function but rather from damage in moving. All lathes big enough for floor mounting come with screw leveling feet, and even home-shop sizes may have 6 feet, large ones more feet. The motor end alone often has 4 feet. The cast iron beds are very stabile over time and temperature, which is why cast iron is extensively used in machine tools. I also looked at a rather long lathe that has feet like a centipede, will look up that photo. The repainting on it wasn't very attractive.</p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_4216.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>This lil' fella has 10 feet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
