just unloaded my first lathe for my garage
well , I finally went and bought a machine tool for home, I found a nice
little Monarch
16 CY , circa 1945 with flame hardened ways , it has a non working trionics
dro
to move it I rented a lift deck 6x 10 trailer from sunbelt rentals , the
deck lifts and lowers via hydraulics , I also made some angle iron frames
with 8 inch casters to put under the headstock and tailstock , worked really
well , I could push the 3500lb lathe
around the garage without difficulty,
Now , to get thaty electric service to the garage and a rotary three phase
converter.....
