I feel my lathe (Laguna 24-46) is a little too high for me.
I've removed the height adjustable feet and stuck heavy duty 3/8" rubber pad on the bottom of each leg. I think my garage floor is flat enough to not cause any issue with this, otherwise I'll go back to the feet. Removing these feet has lowered the spindle height about an inch.
I move my lathe, for use, so it doesn't get placed in the same spot each time.
I though about building a small platform that I could stand on while using the lathe, but I don't like the idea of having to find somewhere to store it, but this would allow me to custom build it to the height I feel good at.
So I though about getting a 3'x5'x7/8" anti fatigue mat. I think with the feet removed and thickness of the anti fatigue mat, I might be close to where I need to be, plus I'm sure the mat will also help with standing next to the lathe for long periods.
I should mention I'm, 5'7".
Thanks
