Hey guys
Ive had my mill and lathe for a while on the stands that they came with but they are way too low at the moment as I have to actually bend down to reach the dials. Im 6'3" so most asian made stuff is way too small for me, i have the same problem with the seats in my car :
What is the best operating position for a mill and lathe? Im familiar with the basic rule of thumb for workbenches where the top of the vise should be about the height of your elbow but is their anything similar for machine tool heights?
Cheers
