I will ignore Myford out of personal prejudice. All the others came on a makers stand, and were not supplied for bench mounting. If you look at lathes that were supplied for bench mounting it is a lot more common. Rivett are just one example. However, I confess that I am basing my statements only on a single source, the lathes.co.uk site, the author of which seems quite fond of the three-bolt concept and who mentions it as a feature where found. I am actually neither a machinist nor an engineer, I just pretend to be both on the Internet. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
