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.

Ig, you could also call Royal and ask them. You may not want to buy
the taper adapter from them (especially after you hear the price), but
they have lots of accurate info on spindle tapers for lathes still in
production and those long out.

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?
