    No that's a good thing. Makes it easy to scrape true.

    You are an eternal optimist Bryan . I should have known the bed was soft as there are numerous dings in the bed where the students have dropped chucks , near the headstock.

    I downloaded the Sheraton pamphlet describing their larger lathes ... the Diplomat, Cadet and the Cub.... the Cub would be a nice machine .. but at 813kg but a bonus is, it has a hardened bed as do the Diplomat and the Cadet. MIKE
