alindsey Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I can't find specs on Rikon's "Universal" mini lathe stand anywhere. Trying to figure out if I can mount a Jet 1220 to it. I wouldn't have doubts about the smaller Jet because the footprint of the Rikon mini is pretty close if not a hair larger. The price is right when compared to the cost of the stand Jet makes for the 1220 but I really do not want to buy the stand and get it assembled (Rikon's instructions are horrid) only to find it won't fit and I need to disassemble it to return. Anyone out there ever put a 1220 on this stand or know of someone who has? The stand I currently have, on locking casters, does not match up with the mounting holes on the Jet which led me to bolt a 2x to the stand and the lathe to the 2x which, even at the stand's lowest setting, puts the tool rest much to high to be comfortable unless I want to stand on a box, and I'm 6' tall.
