Securing To Floor; Cabinet Base Assembly; Check Gearbox Oil - Grizzly g4003g Owner's Manual

securing to floor

We recommend that you secure your lathe to
the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included. since this is
a precision machine, it is important to level the
machine with a precision level when mounting.
bolting to concrete floors
lag shield anchors with lag bolts (figure 6) and
anchor studs (figure 7) are two popular meth-
ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose
the best that fits your specific application.
