Default The BEST lathe ever


....
A 10" SB with roller bearings on the spindle, variable speed, camlock and
clutch, would be a great machine. Is there anything out there like this

or
am I dreaming?

If memory serves, it's called a Monarch EE. It has far more than you
imagine.

A big 10-4 on the 10EE. One feature not mentioned is accuracy of machine. If
you're used to a southbend you'll think you died and went to heaven if you
use a 10EE. That extra 3000 lb. of cast iron is there for a reason.

The only thing better than a 10EE is a 10EE with a DRO and VFD spindle. Very
nice additions.
