OK, so here's the next question.
I see that some lathes are mounted solidly, even on large slabs of concrete set onto a bench.
The vectrax has access holes and threads on the base to install mounting bolts or pads.
Should I install a bolt into that base and crank it down to make the machine level, or slide a thin piece of steel shim which is what seems to be all the rage for leveling machines?
