i remembered about some pictures i had from the internet on some of the specs and it gives the weight of the 12", 15" and 18" models but i don't understand what CWTS are.

CWT means hundred weight. and is just under 51 kilos. It is 112 lbs old money.

great, just looked that up.
20 cwt in one ton according to wikipedia.
means that the 15" model is 1 1/2 tons in weight.
which model do you have Stocksy27???
stocksy27:
its the 15” model so yes about 1.5t the info i found was 6160lb about 2.8 ton either way its a beast, just modeling a spindle adaptor in cad, will 3d print it check all good then get it machined to take my chucks, also wondering any one ever got a revolving faceplate to go on the tail stock?
seventhdevil:
never heard of a faceplate going on a tailstock before.
should it not be mounted on the other side of the headstock for outboard turning?

How would you use a revolving faceplate on the headstock?
