I believe that Clausing has been owned by 600 group for some time and I'm
just about certain that Clausing never made a 10EE model let alone the
Monarch 10EE. For reference:

http://www.clausing-industrial.com/

Monarch does appear to own Lodge & Shipley:

South Bend now appears to be owned by LeBlond:

I also suspect that Clausing meant that Iggy's Clausing lathe used a MT3
dead center in an adapter that was mounted inside the spindle nose. If it
has an L0 spindle it must be a 14" lathe (6900, 1500, or?) or maybe one of
the Colchester series.

Garrett,
I believe Monarch bought Clausing, as well as Lodge & Shipley and recently
South Bend. The 10EE is Clausing and Monarch both. I believe it is the
same machine. The SB 10 lathes use MT3 spindles. The 10EE is a heavier
machine and therefore seriously doubt the MT3 spindle taper. Iggy, I also
have an MT3 test bar and could send you that. Please accurately measure
the major diameter of the taper and I will bet you $ to doughnuts it is
1.500". The number 12 Jarno taper is very close to an MT 4.5, but not MT3.

Do you mean Iggy's Clausing uses the same Jarno taper as a Monarch
10EE? Someone was selling new 5C adapters for 10EEs on ebay. They're
also available from Royal, but not cheap.

I'm a little confused here. Just did a search for "Clausing 10EE" lathe
and came up with nothing. Wasn't Monarch the maker of the 10EE?
