I mounted my mini lathe onto a solid granite plate to make sure it was heavier and more rigid.
I'd seen a few videos about making the performance of a small lathe better by mounting it on a heavy, rigid surface. The material that seemed best suited to this job, while also having good thermal properties, was granite. I bought an offcut of solid granite counter-top from a local kitchen supplier, and set about making into into a base for the Proxxon PD 250/e lathe.
