Does anyone recognize this cross slide inch/metric dial that is on my "new" 1946 Monarch 18cu? Every monarch I have looked at has a different type of dial than this. Mine reads mm on the carriage side and inches on the handle side. Does any know if in the 40's the Monarch came with only a inch standard dial?
I found one post yesterday about a British made metric conversion dial for Lathes that originally only had inch dials. I think that is a good possibility as the threaded hole where my finger is pointed is a 5/16-22 thread. So just to clarify, I am wanting to know if this was a factory Monarch dial or aftermarket and possibly where it would have came from. Thank you, Keith Kubosh!
