I'm going to take a look at a Sheldon lathe. The price is set firm @ $475.
I've never seen a Sheldon first hand, so I did a little reading on lathes.co.uk. No model numbers listed and the gentleman could not remember bed length, center to center, or spindle bore size. I'll assume it's the 10" variety. It has the original cabinet. One of my main reasons for upgrading to a new lathe is to find something with a larger spindle bore. My current lathe is a Myford M series.
Here is what I know...
Opinions please....
