Stand for Jet Mini Lathe

[Dave Brookes]

Can anyone advise on, or recommend, a suitable stand for the Jet Mini Lathe?
I have found the Sealey SM3002ST but none of the stockists (or Sealey themselves) can give me the dimensions of it.  All I have found out is that it will support 30 kgs.
Ideally I would like to be able to transport it in the back of a car to Craft Fairs - along with other equipment.

I use a work mate. I have a platform with a long tenon that clamps in the workmate and the lathe screws down onto ti with a screen clamped on the front.

Peter,
I currently use a workmate but it is in need of replacement so I was looking for something with a bit more stability whilst still being portable(ish).

why not make/design one to your own specs???

Pete,
That's the 'fall back' position if there is no readymade solution.

Would one of the axminster ones work they will at least know the measurements if you phone them

My club has an Axminster m330 and I have made two stands for it, one  to stand at the lathe, and this is used mainly for club demo's. Thanks to recurring back problem I need to sit down a lot, so I made a lower stand so I can sit and turn (but not demonstrate!) Both stands work well and both together cost less than a bought stand. So get some 2"*4" and some ply or Mdf and make what you need.

Thanks for the advice gents, I think the diy option is the best; although the Axminster one is ideal, there are too many numbers after the £ sign.

Go for it Dave, don't forget the vital measurement though, the drive centre should be at the height of your elbow when you are standing up!
