If you go to your local auto parts store you should be able to buy a big drip pan for less than $10. If you find the kind i bought you will find it a perfect fit between the inside of the legs/feet of the legs. You should also find it wide enough to extend well behind and in front of the lathe. The beauty part is it can be slid out from under the machine and easily cleaned of swarf and chips. Plus, it costs a fraction of what one to totally cover the top of the bench does and you are not left with bending the edges up to give it a lip. I hope you sized it so you can slide a 7 drawer Kennedy under the machine on the bottom of the bench.
