Sheldon 11 inch carriage gib

Please don't take offense. I hate to add this but just gotta offer the thought. Is the cutting tool centered on the axis of the work? A cutting tool that registers too low it can raise the carriage assembly.
 
Sheldon 10" Lathes has a Carriage Gib. The 11" lathes don't have one. I have a 11" X 46"
