I have a new to me Sheldon TS 56P that I'm getting ready for it's first run at my shop. I've got the spindle isolated from the drive system and find that it's a bit hard to turn compared to other lathes I've used. The motion is smooth and uniform, no noise, just a bit stiff. I have a Sheldon manual titled "The Care and Operation of a Lathe" that describes adjusting spindle bearing tension, but it doesn't seem to apply to the model I have. Any Ideas?
