There's plenty more to it, but those are a few of the highlights. The
Sheldon R-series was made in 13, 15 and 17" models. My 15" with six
foot bed weighs 3500 Lbs. Good for stability. My previous lathe was
a 12" Atlas-Craftsman. The difference in rigidity is just AMAZING!
See http://pico-systems.com/sheldon.html for the whole saga of
getting it moved in and fixed up.
Hi Jon,
Wow, who would of thought? I bought the same lathe(15) in an auction
last year. The reason for building that rotary converter. Here it is!

Yes, same for me. I had a toy lathe and really learned that rigid was
very important. I researched before bidding and word was that this is
about as good as it gets.
Best, Dan.
