Yes, but only because the handles are reversed and you can't hop back and forth easily. Websterville was all Monarchs, they were nice. But the gearshift feature on Pacemakers is killer ... I would say they are six of one, half dozen of the otherHmmmm, thought you were pretty much just an "American" guy....
Yeah! Plus 1I like your snatch block set up.
Right. That's how they were ALL rated, back in the day. 2 1/2" bigger swing than nominal. Means you can actually work on the nominal size part conveniently.Mine is also a 16X54. It actually swings 18.5".
Great snag for your shop!
Here's some suggestions...
First... MOVE THE TV. It WILL get smashed by something flying off the lathe.
Next... it'd be a good idea to leave enough space BEHIND the lathe for you to be able to get back there to clean out chips, lost tools, and access the machine features.
As others noted, she's a big girl, and will settle the floor. To keep it true, you want it supported at three points... typically, two points at the headstock end, and one point at the tailstock end, and don't bolt it down to the floor tight... just anchor it enough so that it can't wander around.
Since my 10EE is currently in HER garage (while I'm building my new shop), I have the EE sitting on a steel pallet that I can get my hefty pallet jack under to move it. The pallet flexes to conform to the floor, but the mounting points on the 10EE match it's FOOT positions, and there's retainer bolts to keep it on the pallet, and levelling bolts at each foot position. My pallet also reaches out in front and behind the machine enough to increase it's footprint to reduce the 'tippy' factor.
You'll need a svelte pallet jack to move the whole thing, but you might be able to do it easily with two... and pallet jacks are very inexpensive, very handy, and very easy to store (poke them sideways into the end, and spin the handle 90 degrees!)
You will NOT regret acquiring that lathe... EVER!
