After receiving my first lathe, a Jet 1221vs, with a crack in the casting, I think the replacement I received yesterday is fine. Now I'm going to start building a stand alone bench to locate both the lathe as well as the slow speed grinder and Wolverine sharpening system I also purchased.
I'm initially going to set the bench height at 30" which according to most guidelines and suggestions will put my bent elbows at the centerline of the spindle.
However, as previously pointed out by a experienced turner on this site, that bench height will probably be too low for the sharpening setup. My plan is to build a raised platform on the bench for locating the sharpening setup.
So I'm wondering whether there is a guideline or suggested height for locating the grinder and Wolverine sharpening setup?
Thank you
Dom
