Going to sound weired this is ..
Has anyone got any figures as to what height your eyes should be above the spindle of lathe..
need to build a workbench for a south bend model 9a ...
I've got a back problem ...so need not to stoop ...
so lathe will be as high as possible with a safety factor for eye protection .
worked out ...that spindle centre height will be 39-43 inches ....with my eyes height at 65 inches ...
so bench top height will be 27- 31 inches.
lathe is 12 inches from bench top to centre of spindle
I'm 5ft 11
is there something Ive overlooked ..
eg my smart and brown 1024 has spindle height of 42 inches.....and that don't do me any good.
IS THERE someone who has worked out the ergonomics of all this .
ordering the wood tomorrow
all the best.markj
