I have a question about lathe height. I've read that the centers should be approximately your elbow height so that the forearm is bent about 90 degrees. My elbow is around 45" the lathe centers are 42". My question is when I pour the concrete to level the area where the lathe will sit should it be 3" thick to bring the centers to 45 inches?
The lathe, by the way, is a 1962 J-170 that I've been rebuilding over the past several months.
