Focus66 Posted January 17, 2024 Report Share Posted January 17, 2024 Just purchased a new RST Mustang, going into my van for my Auto business to replace an old Laser manual machine I have at present. Any tips or advice on how to best secure it to my work bench in my van ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted January 18, 2024 Report Share Posted January 18, 2024 Undo screws holding rubber feet in place. Then use these holes for fixing. Drill hole in some 1/2 inch x 2 inch plates (approx) needs to be rigid so thin bit of stainless is good. You may need to replace screws with slightly longer screws depending on thickness of plate. Then screw down to work surface and bottom of machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus66 Posted January 18, 2024 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2024 Unscrewed the rubber feet to find they were tiny, only 3mm diameter, I decided they had no strength to hold down the machine safely. In the end I decided to drill 4mm holes on the underside near the feet, then thread them out to 5mm. Got 4 x 5mm long bolts and marked up the bench in the back of my van using stencil method. Worked a treat, now bolted down from under the bench in the threaded holes I'd made. So adapted your suggested method to secure it down. grahamparker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
