Ha... it is meant to be!!
The RV73/2 weighs about 18 lbs.
I don't know how your machine is setup, but if you are looking for reference point. We put this spindle on our IronMan machines, and they throw these spindles around at 250 IPM no problem, running 387 ozin stepper, 1:1 coupled to a 5 tpi ball screw.
Let me know if you have any questions about them. I can also provide a dimension drawing if you need.
