8. Remove the shelf, then pre-drill holes for
the mounting hardware you have chosen.
Unless you intend to do so, take care to avoid
drilling all the way through the shelf.
9. Place your shelf back onto the shelf brackets,
taking care to line up the holes you drilled in
the previous step with the holes in the shelf
brackets.
10. Use your chosen hardware to secure the
shelf to the shelf brackets.
11. Install cross-bracing to provide additional
stabilization between the legs, or between
the legs and bench top. Two possible
methods are shown in Figures 6–7
Though leveling is not required, the Model
SB1354 legs have 3 ⁄
8
"-16 pitch threaded holes at
the base to allow for the installation of leveling
feet.
Though securing the bench to the floor is not
required, the holes at the base of the legs can
be used for this purpose (to avoid interference
with the existing threads, use 5 ⁄
16
" or smaller
hardware). Before securing the bench to the floor,
use a precision level to check the bench for level
in all directions. Place shims under the legs as
necessary until the bench is level and all four
feet are planted firmly on the floor. Then, use
mounting hardware to mount the bench to the
floor.

Stud
Lag screws and anchors, or anchor studs
(below), are two popular methods for securing
machinery to a concrete floor. We suggest you
research the many options and methods for
securing your machine and choose the best one
for your specific application.

DO NOT use impact tools to secure the legs
to the floor. The impact associated with these
tools could crack the cast iron. Tighten all
floor mounting hardware by hand.
Failure to properly cross-brace the Model
SB1354 will result in a significantly reduced
maximum weight capacity and could cause
the bench to collapse under heavy vertical or
lateral loading. Collapse can result in crushing
injuries and/or property damage.
