CAST IRON LEGS for lathe

sleepydad | Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on March 3, 2011 12:05pm

so recently I purchased one of those 46-460 delta thingies with bed extension.

I have space for it and it can sit in one spot so I’m trying to locate some old cast iron legs

something like these?

wondering if it’s worth tracking some down? my guess is the heavier the base the better off you are? also bolted to the floor probably even better.

does anybody know a site like x-factory or such who might have this kind of thing? looks like they usually go for $100-$150 per leg

iron versus ???

Old cast iron legs are nice. But, don't underestimate the utility of the 4x4 with a couple of bags of concrete on a stretcher beam. ;-)
