RIKON Power Tools 70-906 21 12 Bed Extension for 70-105 Mini Lathe

The RIKON Power Tools Bed Extension for the 70-105 Mini Lathe is a mixed bag in terms of customer experience and reception. While some customers found it to be a good addition to their lathe, others had difficulty with installation and alignment. One customer mentioned that the weight of the extension seemed incorrect according to the product description, but it was clarified that the actual weight is 20lbs. Another customer expressed disappointment when they discovered that the extension did not fit their Rikon 70-150vsr, despite previous information suggesting compatibility. Regarding the included mounting hardware, one customer mentioned that they had to purchase additional screws to attach the extension to their lathe. They also noted the lack of aligning pins, which made it more challenging to match the extension perfectly to the lathe during installation. In terms of customer reviews, some expressed frustration with the initial alignment issues but mentioned that with some adjustments and customization, the extension can be made to fit properly. Others mentioned welding close to the holes causing alignment problems, but still managed to make it work. Overall, the RIKON Power Tools Bed Extension for the 70-105 Mini Lathe seems to have a decent performance once installed correctly. However, it may require some additional time and effort to achieve the desired alignment and fit, and may not be suitable for those looking to turn longer items such as baseball bats.
