I was given a Monarch 10EE and I am slowly teaching myself to run the lathe.
I've been able to make a couple items for the gooseneck trailer I built with the tool that came with it. I'm am now in need of some tooling since I broke the RH turning tool and in the middle of my next project. I'm replicating the grease sleeve for a caster.
The lathe has an ENCO 4 position turret tool post. Max shank height is 5/8". Should I buy a new tool post? If so which one would be suggested for my lathe?
I will be using the lathe to turn varies items out of steel and stainless steel. I will need to bore holes 0.525 at least 3" deep.
What would you suggest one buys? Where would you recommend buying them from? I prefer to spend more on quality and not a real fan on the items from China.
Thanks,
Matt
