Hi guys I'm new to this forum and was hoping I could get some help. I purchase a monarch 20x48 is what I believe it to be, the distance however from the chuck to the bottom is 11" so I think the swing would be 22.5 if that makes sense but I think they consider it a 20x48 model lathe 15hp and I wOuld like to get it up and running. I need some help on getting a tool post holder or something inexpensive to put a big boring bar in it, maybe a 1.25 or 1.5". Please see the pictures below and let me know any help Would be appreciated .
Mike
