Hello all,

After reading some of the Epoxy-granite thread, I have been thinking about adding some epoxy-granite to the mini lathe bed to try and add some mass to the lathe to maybe inprove its perfromance and take some vibration out of the machine.

Like I show in the crude picture below, I would try to completly fill the "leg" on the tailstock end of the lathe, and then partialy fill the webbing in the bed, leaving oval shaped holes for the metal shavings to fall through. Might be able to put a little bit of material in the headstock end of the bed around the motor, but I dont think it would be very much.


Has anyone else done something similar to thier lathe already?

What do people think?

Thanks!

Tyler
