[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1605584, member: 78569"] My lathe and mill sit on my garage slab which I'm sure isn't any more than 4" thick and unreinforced. The lathe feet bear on the concrete with no bearing pads. I go through the whole leveling and aligning process before I chamber each time because I do see seasonal movement. I chamber so rarely that I go through all this just to make sure it is zeroed up properly. If I was doing this for a living, I would make sure the legs were anchored into the concrete and if given the opportunity, a 6" minimum slab. My lathe is just a 12x36 so only weights 1200 lbs.
