Great score Dale ! I have the 1442 and used the levelers. (the 1442 and 1642 use the same leg set and bed) If you have a floor jack it sure is easy to add them to see if it is good for you. Congrats, and have a bunch of fun

I just got mine this week as well, I did use the leveling feet, I didn't want the cast iron legs in direct contact with the concrete.
To successfully thread those leveling feet I had to chase the threads with a tap.
Now I am learning to turn, and I am very happy with the Rockler deal I got, I assume you bought from them as well.

Congrats Dale, you will have a lot of fun with that machine. I did not use the original feet with mine but I got some heavy duty machine feet from Enco and retro fit them-same thread. Much wider diameter with neoprene base. They work very well. I put hex nuts above and below the legs to lock things in place.
Happy and Safe Turning, Don
