the bandsaw center of gravity is above the middle
of the machine. Although not required, we strong-
ly recommend that you mount your new machine
to the floor to prevent tipping. Because this is an
optional step and floor materials may vary, floor
mounting hardware is not included.
Bolting to Concrete floors
Anchor studs and lag bolts ( figure 10) are two
popular methods for anchoring an object to a con-
crete floor. We suggest you research the many
options and methods for mounting your machine
and choose the best that fits your specific applica-
tion.

floor
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more perma-
nent alternatives to lag bolts; however, they
will stick out of the floor, which may cause
a tripping hazard if you decide to move your
machine.
NOTICE
We strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.
