I'm beginning to realize the wisdom in having a lathe set up for the proper height. My Oneway 2436 has a spindle height of just over 49", a dimension generally suggested for a tall person. A bettery height for me would be around 43". What I'm considering is ...
- Cut down the legs.
- Purchase new legs from Oneway.
- Sell my lathe and buy another.
I have a rubber horse stall mat to stand on that has helped but it doesn't get me much closer to the desired height. The situation hasn't reached critical mass yet but it's beginning to bother me the more time spent in front of the lathe. What would you do? Suggestions?
PS If I purchased another lathe it would be another Oneway 2436. I'm totally satisfied with it, except for the height.
PPS It's my understanding that Oneway sells or sold these lathes with different length legs. If any tall Oneway lathe owner has a shorter version and would like to swap legs, please PM me.
