On the Vicmark 300

[Bart Leetch]

What are the measurements as close as I can figure it the short bed is 21" between centers & with the 19" extension bed it stretches out to 40" between centers & with the 39" extension it stretches it out to 60" between centers. Is this right?

You're correct!

Take a look at Craft Supplies USA's website for details:

Thanks for the answer but I already edited the post because I called WW Emporium & asked them the measurements for the bed extensions. So this is as close as I can figure the distance between centers.

I purchased a late 1990's VL300 Craft Supply. The label is totally faded. Left leg is significantly bigger than the right leg, and the wiring all goes inside that leg. The wire to the external control box needs to be replaced, but I'm hesitant at this point to remove the leg without knowing what to do when it's off.

Does anyone have experience removing that leg to get to what I am sure is the inverter box? Or a manual from that time period....

I can take pictures of the lathe tomorrow when I set all the pieces back together. It's in two major pieces, wiht the stand on end - this is how I finally figured out where the thin wire goes.

Thanks, all!
