I have a DVR XP and I need to build a stand for it.
I really like many of the elements of this stand ;
https://ibuildit.ca/projects/lathe-stand/
I like that it is made-up of laminations for many of the elements. I like that there aren't a lot of complex joints. I like that it is made of inexpensive stock.
I don't like the feet. I don't plan on moving, or moving the lathe around the shop, so I would not opt for this style of adjustable foot .
I want a ballast box. No big deal. I can add that in where the crossmembers are on this one. I will fill it with sand or concrete.
My last issue is the rake of the legs. These are splayed out 5 degrees but not raked. I am wondering if I would be better off having the legs splayed and raked 5 degrees in each direction. Thoughts?
I appreciate your input.
