Lathe Height
I'm 6' tall! What would a good height for the center line of the lathe spindle be?

Re: Lathe Height
Stand up and measure from the floor to your elbow. That's about a good comfortable height.

Re: Lathe Height
Mike hit on the head,it works out to be the most comfortable and safest height.Plus it allows you to hit your live center dead on the middle of your elbow which is good for maximum pain.
