Rikon 70-100 w/ Extension Demensions

[Justturnin]

I will be building a lathe stand for my Rikon 70-100 in the near future when my shop remodel is complete. I want to build it long enough to accept the bed extension in the future.

If someone that has this lathe w/ extension can tell me what the footprint is on it I would really appreciate it.

thanks!!

According to Rikon's web site, the 70-100 is 32" long and the bed extension is 24" long. I suspect you'll need a minimum of 60" of work surface.
