Inventory  
of industrial designs from the early 1900s, these  
heavy Cast Iron Legs provide plenty of support  
and stability for shop-made workbenches or  
machine stands. Just add your own bench top  
and bottom shelf to suit your particular needs.

Tools needed for tightening selected  
hardware  
Cardboard (or other protective material for  
assembly process) larger than bench top  
dimensions  
Although each leg is capable of supporting  
up to 2000 lbs., the actual capacity of the  
completed workbench is dependent on many  
factors, including (but not limited to) material  
type, quality, and dimensions of the bench  
top and shelf; the method and materials used  
for cross bracing; the size and quality of the  
hardware used; and any forces that may be  
applied to the workbench during its use.  
Optional  
Leveling Feet 38"-16 thread pitch  
Precision Level

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.  
Leveling  
Though leveling is not required, the Model  
SB1354 legs have 38"-16 pitch threaded holes at  
the base to allow for the installation of leveling  
feet.  
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.  
Securing to Concrete  
Floors  
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 67  
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.  
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 516" 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.  
Mounting Tabs  
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.
