Looking for recommendations for leveling feet/pads that can be adjusted with only top access. I am hoping to replace the wood wedges I've used for years on a Centauro-made MM16. My OW lathe has some that are the type that would work but I can't find a supplier.

Lee Valley has some that might work for the MM16 if you’re open to an edge mount - https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/sho...rs/116710-25mm-edge-mount-top-adjust-leveller. If you want to go in through the base holes, some of their heavy duty cabinet levelers might work
And I’ve used wood wedges for my Centauro MM16 for as long as I can remember (on my third shop and still using them)

I made a set up out of plywood and compression rubber. Three layers of 3/8 plywood and two layers of rubber. They worked well , steady and the lathe doesnt around.
