Sheldon 1248P weight

[intrepid]

While searching for a South Bend 9A or 10K I came across a Sheldon 1248P on factory bench. I had a South Bend 10L in the past and was planning to downsize to the 9 or light 10 cabinet. Since no luck on the south bend I was thing about the Sheldon that was offered to me but again considering the weight. Any idea what the weight of the Sheldon lathe would be? I am concerned about moving and unloading from my trailer into my garage.

Don't know if this helps, but 12' lathes in this catalog run 750-800 lbs.

Lighter weight for a lathe is only an advantage when moving it, it’s a disadvantage for everything else.
