SURE. My Sheldon R15-6 (15 x 42", 2.25" spindle through hole, 5 Hp)
outweighs
it by 1000 Lbs. And, it IS in my home shop! Yeah!

That thing must have been made for shipboard use or something. Certainly an
odd combination.

It's funny - at first glance it looks like a monster, but the weight
and footprint are not that bad (big) for what is there. I think it eats
no more floor than my lathe and mill do now. One thing that makes it
HSM UNfriendly however, is that most don't have space at the END of the
lathe to park the mill in a sideways orientation, and you can't jam
this up against a wall. It's still an interesting "import combo
machine".

At least it looks like a lot less of a compromise than the other
multiple type machines but too big for my shop =(
