Bught an interesting 1944 Monarch lathe 16x54
This is a 16 (16 inch real swing) by 54 inch Monarch lathe.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N...604_135130.jpg What is interesting about it is that it has very little wear. So little, in fact, that I could not discern any significant amount of wear. Bedways near the chuck look just like bedways near the tailstock. So does the cross-slide bed. In addition, it is pretty loaded with tooling, tailstock, steady rest, 3 jaw chuck, collet set with collet closer, etc. I also bought a 4 jaw on the same auction. And, it also has a complete taper attachment. I have not 100% decided, but I may keep this one for us and sell my Clausing, which is a much lesser lathe. i |
