Lathes are installed using the following method: (The method may slightly vary from person to person)
- The bolt pattern on the head- and tail stock pedestals are measured and matching studs are set into the floor onto which the lathe will be installed.
- An electrical line is routed to the location where the lathe will be installed for supplying it with power.
- The lathe is placed on shifting skates or machine rollers and moved over its permanent location.
- Jacks are used to lift the lathe off the rollers and placed over the studs and down onto the floor. The jacks are then removed.
- A set of spirit levels are placed on the lathe's beds and leveling of the machine is done by setting the jacking bolts located on the pedestals.
- Once the machine is leveled, a washer and nut is placed on each stud and the machine is bolted down.
- A further option might be used by cementing between the floor and the pedestal bases of the lathe to enhance sturdiness.
- Power is connected to the lathe and all the oil levels are checked and filled if necessary.
- The lathe is started and tested.
An alternative to setting studs, using the lathe's jacking bolts and cementing is the use of adjustable rubber foot pads. The machine is moved to its location and jacked up. The foot pads are installed into the pedestal mounting holes then the lathe is set on the floor and leveled.

On a wood turning lathe, the faceplate is screwed to the piece of wood, then the faceplate is held in place by the chuck. This facilitates free-wheeling the opposite end for such items as bowls.
