Dear Dazz, I know what it feels like to stoop over a machine as I am tall. However, when you use/add feet or casters to a Denford lathe even in the mounting holes provided it become less stable.

The rectangular bar in front of the headstock is bolted to the bed and the headstock by 4 cap head bolts. DO NOT remove this bar from the lat...
