Rich,
I like the concept of having it bolted down to a very rigid bench with
bolts of sufficent size using adjuster nuts. The complete process is
described in Sparey's book "The Amateur's Lathe". It will be more
stable in use and when operating the tumbler lever's very stiff
spring. Minor imbalances will have less effect. Chatter frequencies
will change or be of less effect.
