Lathe Bench

Are you mounting this on a pre-existing bench or building one for the lathe?

I was going to build one as soon as I get the time but still unsure of how to mount the motor

You just described it – i have the same lathe – sits on a surface 8” or wider with the motor hanging beneath the headstock upside down from the underside of the surface with a rectangular slot under the pulley for the v-belt to pass through

I also have this lathe. Mounted 2×4’s to the bottom of the lathe, then built a set of legs to mount it to. Needed to add a shelf to the bottom to add weight. An extremely early project, still haven’t changed it. Looks like crap, works just fine.
