My 15" with six foot bed weighs 3500 Lbs. Good for

The difference in rigidity is just AMAZING! See

getting it moved in and fixed up.
I don't think I've seen those pictures before. That was quite an
operation. Both with getting the lathe into place (forklift tracks) and
then your grinding. Looks awesome. Andy should be very happy with your
lathe choice:-)
Yup, this was a CRAZY adventure, and cost me my back! (I
tore something there while trying to pull a 24 x 36" surface
plate out of the back of my car. DUMB!!!) But, I learned a
lot about machine rebuilding doing it, and the machine is
totally awesome!
