No, but the top of the crossfeed on an 11" Sheldon is a pretty thin casting. Might be a lot easier damaged than the identical part of a monarch of similar size. Falling over and landing to the compound crank split the compounds ways wide open, long before it followed me home in a cargo van. But I didn't find that until after I'd gotten it unloaded and was looking for how best to cnc it.
