Oh yes, so they do, thanks.

"Drill holes into your machine" was not what I was expecting  ;D

It does not seem to have any place to attach a horizontal base.

I hope I'm missing something though and it really is as simple as fitting the base.

General Tormek Questions / Tormek 1200 - woodturning
September 28, 2020, 11:13:00 AM
I got a Tormek 1200 with the second-hand lathe I bought recently.

I've been looking at the various jigs available, particularly for bowl and spindle gouges, and they all show the jig attaching to a support bar sticking out to the side of the machine.  The 1200 only has vertical attachment points, so I suppose if I were to fit the jig[1] then the butt of the gouge would be sticking right up in the air and I'd have to climb on top of the bench to look down on the machine to sharpen it on the backside of the wheel, which doesn't seem very practical.

Is there a suitable solution?

Thanks,
