What is the general consensus on Sheldon lathes? Local seller has a Sheldon EXL-56B, sereial # EXL-27048, that looks to be in pretty good condition. Looks complete with everything (steady rest, quick change tool post, tail stock, etc), except no 4 jaw chuck....but it does have a complete collet set.
How do they compare with Atlas/Craftsman lathes, or South Bend 9" lathes?
