Hi guys,

I am curious on the load rating for the swivel feet included with the prs Bots...

I tossed in a few boards and made a place to store my material which can add up to 500-750 pounds. Is this going to over stress the plastic pads that have the ball socket?

Thanks

Adam...
I looked on McM and the legs with 1/2" & 5/8" threads had a load rating between 600 and 1200 lbs EACH. The SB feet should be in that range

Thanks Gary...

I should be fine then. The added wieght seems to make the bot more stabble too...

Looking at the pic, it appears that the feet are awfully high. You'll want to dial them down as close to the floor as you can get, while being level. This does make a big difference in machine stability and prevents wobble.

That is a good point Brady... I'll lower them down and re-level...

Thanks!
