I've been thinking of doing the same.
Remember, the depth front to back of my existing base is right at 30" deep.? I might be able to spare a inch or so if I let the counter shaft pulley extend out past the back of the cabinet.? I recall dad had it mounted on a mobile industrial cart we had when I was around 10-12 years old, 55 years ago!? It's been transferred to two different benches since then.? It's been on the current one for almost fifty years now.? I'm ready for a change, too.? I do have a couple of tool cabinets bought from HF in recent years that would work, they are being used for other things.? So that means I would have to purchase another one to mount the lathe on.? I would suggest putting down two layers of 3/4" plywood to set the lathe on. Ken?
