I recently thought about buying a Sheraton 9" lathe with 1" riser blocks, effectively giving it 11" of swing.
It sold but my main concern was do these have and adverse effect on Lathe rigidity or other areas I am not aware of.
In order to better educate myself in case another comes up for sale I thought I would ask the question.
As you can probably guess I am looking to update my current lathe and realised I have a lot of research to do.
Thanks all
Steve
