    Monarch 13 EE video.

    That’s a cool machine. What does it weigh?

    60's model 10EE knob and handle plating

    If you’re looking into the idea of power coating, you should also consider Cerakote as an option. No chemicals will harm cerakote. I didn’t use it in this situation but that’s because it’s on an old mill that I was not restoring. I just needed to be able to see the numbers better. That’s why I...

    60's model 10EE knob and handle plating

    Charlieman22, Like the rest of us (and after reading your many comments) you don’t open your wallet wide, without a good reason. An alternative that may interest you that I have done on my Bridgeport: I had a base of powder coat applied, then hand applied the red and let it fully dry. Used a...

    Monarch 5C collet nose

    Hi Kevin, Any chance you got some pictures yet? Whenever you do I’d appreciate getting a chance to see them. Thank you.

    Monarch 5C collet nose

    By the time work gave me a chance to get a breath of air, the one I mentioned sold. Not the end of the world… Anyone happen to have a good one for sale?

    Monarch 5C collet nose

    What is the current going rate for a Monarch 5C nose with a D1-3 mount? Looking at one on flebay and comparing to see what’s a good price/deal.

    10ee cross slide lube upgrade

    Good Morning, I've noticed recently that my saddle is not oiling (or is barely oiling), so i will be tearing into that to see what is going on. I have 3 additional items i want to address: 1. One of the compound bolts don't tighten, so i need to either buy new bolts or make those. 2. Monarch...

    10 EE Gearbox and New Motor Adapter Plate

    As Tailstock mentioned “ At a minimum I would go with 5 hp with back gear but 7.5 hp with the back gear and vector motor is a better choice in my opinion”. I concur also. My 30 inch 10EE has the 7.5 with a back gear and a VFD. It works great BECAUSE it has the additional power. Anything less...

    Trav-a-dial bracket for 10EE ?

    Ross, Thanks for the pictures and information. It appears that Cal & Mr CNC differ from what I’ve read on how these work. How does your travel dial engage and start the measuring process?

    Seeking info on a 10EE, based on one poor photograph

    The lathe certainly has some of the additional toys that many of us wish ours had... I can't complain, owning a 30 incher with ELSR, Taper, a VFD that I’m almost totally happy with, 7.5 hp, blah, blah. But having the handwheel collet closer, factory covers on the taper attachment in place, taper...

    Trav-a-dial bracket for 10EE ?

    Call me whatever...I've never used a machine that had a travel dial, so i assume the dial gets it's information from the lead screw? How would/did you build your versions in the past? Do you by chance have anything in writing you would be willing to share? I now have a 1963 10ee in what i like...

    Taking a poll of those interested in a 10EE Follow Rest casting.

    After re-reading this thread, i concur with a few others that making one that fits multiple machines is the best option. This 2 piece DRO version will draw more interest and likely have more buyers. Yes it is a bit more complex and has more parts, but none of us want a janky POS that's only a...

    10ee Micro Gaging Diameter Dial

    Well now that i have seen it up close and in person, it looks quite easy to make myself. The locking lever that is. Once i take everything apart, hopefully the 'pin' to the left of the lever, is easy enough to figure out. As noted my pin is not there at all, so if it was supposed to hold...

    Choices: Collet chuck for 10ee

    This is all very good information, and i very much appreciate the input from qualified personnel. I'm a brand name kind of guy for most all things so Bison, Rovi, and other quality names would certainly be on my list (it's why i own a Monarch). 5C certainly appears to be the one that may be the...

    Choices: Collet chuck for 10ee

    Hi Don, Thanks for your input. I have looked at the ER collets and agree with your synopsis but dang, there are so many different types of ER collets to choose from that I get a bit lost. Which ones should I narrow the scope down to that would give lots of options for size, availability, &...

    Choices: Collet chuck for 10ee

    Good morning, I currently use the 2J collet system on my 10EE. To be frank about it, I hate buying old (potentially) worn collets that cost more than they should. If you were looking for versatility in a modern collet system, with available collet racks for reasonable prices, and didn’t want...

    10ee Micro Gaging Diameter Dial

    Yes sir. Since mine looks like someone cut it off with a pair of dikes, I was not sure what it was. All I can see are threads. That dual locking lever is what I am missing. The little post beside it I am also missing. Not sure what that is for?

    10ee Micro Gaging Diameter Dial

    Kevin, I think one of my main reasons for not fully understanding the process/procedures for using this dial is that mine is missing the switch(?) on the front face of it. I should have mentioned that previously. I'm not sure what to call it (or what its purpose is) but it is broken off on mine...
