Gunner, being long, does not make the lathe bad, it just makes it
capable of things that may be rarely necessary. What could be "bad" is
low quality, or lack of features.

I kept saying it was good. Just a ****load bigger than you are ever
going to need and its going to be a huge drain on your floor space.

Nothing more, nothing less.


Yabbut, he has an entire warehouse to work with, not just a shop space
like most of us.


If he does..why bother selling the Monarch? Keep em both. His guy
loves the Monarch for his day to day stuff...so let him keep using it.
When something big comes along..use the big girl.


Not enough room for two, for sure. Plus, the Birmingham lathe can do
everything that the Monarch can.
