    pendulum

    Wondering if the pendulum/control panel, is verticly adjustable on my new Haas TL3 lathe?
    Was going to build up a "board walk" but herd a rumor that Imay be able to adjust the pendulum.
    At 5`4" im getting tired of looking up at it. We dont currently have a Cad/Cam program so I am doing everything with IPS, and man is my neck sore!

    I don't think it is height adjustable.

    You should be happy you are not an old geezer like me who needs bifocals, not only do I have to look up I have to tilt my head back so I am looking 'down'.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Thanx for reply Geof, I do feel a little better! I guess we will just have to build up a platform!

    +1 The height is not adjustable.

    It might be possible to lower the machine closer to the ground. Submit a picture of the leveling screws and the pads they are sitting on.
    Thanks,
