Lathe Track Rack System Base
Our proprietary Lathe Track Base is at the heart of our Lathe Track Rack System.
The Lathe Track Base is a 1" square, 11-gauge tube that's milled for mounting slots on both sides. The tube gives strength and operating room for mounting on the lathe, and installing/removing different fixtures. It is a full 2 feet long. This length gives more options to locate fixtures, and makes extra space for any Lathe Track accessory.
The slider track is designed to fit carriage bolts so that you can mount anything you want onto the Lathe Track. You could mount the Track Rack onto the front of your lathe and make a bracket for tools. It now has three galvanized clamps to hold the unit onto the lathe. Once mounted, the unit is very solid.
The unique clamps mount on two planes, allowing the base to be clamped onto the webs of a Robust or ONEWAY lathe, or just about any other lathe out there. We offer the Track Rack as a standalone for those creative turners who would like the convenience of hanging stuff on their lathe but don't have a good way to do it.
What's in the box: The Track Rack Bracket and three galvanized threaded clamps for two mounting positions, plus an instruction manual.
If the base of the bed of your lathe will not accept a 1/2" beam clamp, this system is not compatible with your lathe. This includes these lathes:
- Powermatic 2014
- ONEWAY 12"
- Rikon 70-1850
