Potential Stand Options:


Considerations:

  1. Adjustable stand height
  2. Planned height of top of Lid of Thunderbolt to match Odin 22 (Approx 42" to lid on Odin 22 which means the Bolt stand table height should be around 24-30")
  3. Planned height in comparison to some of the Nova 24 Stand Options ( Approx 53" to top of Nova 24 with a 27" table would put the Thunderbolt Stand height at 35" since the Bolt is 200mm shorter)
  4. Storage
  5. Casters\Fixed Feet
  6. Cost
  7. Working Space alongside the machine
  8. Stand Load Rating
