Let us know how noisy it is. I've really come to dislike overly loud equipment.

Finally found an old Sheldon UL44-B lathe with a chain drive on craigslist to replace my tiny Harbor freight mini lathe. needs some TLC on some of the old bronze gears, but thats it.

I went to a fairly large flea market today. My wife scored big time and picked up a bunch of stuff. I only found these goodies. The inside mic set is Starrett.

I have been reading here about and looking around for an older Handbook, even bid on several at the Bay to no avail. I found this one, tax, shipping and all delivered was 11 dollars and some change so I took a chance. It is in wonderful condition, it does have a prior owners name back when Indianapolis address's were rural routes. No tears no missing pages, even had a short piece of register tape book marking the thread pitch pages.

I found what the U stands for but what is a chain drive on a lathe?
If I'm correct the U stands for under drive. Meaning a belt shift drive in the cabinet. Seems like it would be good.
