10EE factory wrenches

[Andy FitzGibbon]

I bought a box of wrenches that included a factory 10EE wrench, part number EE-2145, which I hadn't previously known existed. It's in the parts drawings, but I'd always figured it was just a standard "lathe wrench" made by Billings, Armstrong, Williams et al. The 3/8" square operates the carriage lock, and the 9/16 open end works on the taper attachment, steady, follow, compound swivel, ect. The handle has a slight curve, which is either for ergonomics or because someone used it as a pry bar... not entirely sure. It sort of looks like it was made that way.

Does anyone here have the original EE-3384 wrench for the Camlock spindle? I found a previous post about an older, double ended version (with a different part number) but the later drawings show a single ended wrench.

I've been keeping an eye out for a factory wrench. Congrats on your purchase!! Sorry, I'm no help on tour search for the chuck key wrench.

Here is the factory cam lock wrench. You can buy them from Monarch new. It is nicely made and strong. I’m guessing it’s long because you have to get past the 11” faceplate to tighten the cam locks.
The carriage wrench is older and not new.

Cool!!

I have a 2145, its flat so either yours got run over by a forklift or someone needed some knuckle clearance.
It is not a very good fit to the carriage lock on the 1940 10EE. I have an Armstrong 5/16 square wrench that is a much better fit.

This one fits great on the carriage lock of my 1970.

I am only posting this as a "aha" idea. Of course, having a couple of spare ball handles lying around to bastardize is probably as rare as finding a Genuine Monarch wrench. Bore it out and press in a square machinable broach socket sleeve thing. And it can live right there, no need to put it away, almost looks factory.

Since my lathe is an early 10EE (1940), it may have come with the carriage lock handle shown in the 1939 brochure. The lock screw top is actually tapered, and the bottom of the taper is ⅜ square. This is what the fit looks like:




Here is a photo taken from Russ Kepler's 1939 10EE brochure that shows the original carriage lock handle. I like Daryl's re-interpretation of the handle, it resembles the original. My guess is that the 1939 handle was a tight fit to the tapered screw top, but I have never seen an original.

I have never seen that pic of the 1939 EE. I don't think I just came up it on my own...but can't remember the source of inspiration.

Does your carriage wrench have the curve in the handle that mine does?

Interesting. Makes sense that it wouldn't fit very well.

Your wrench has different stampings vs. mine. Mine has no manufacturer logo.

I got an EE-2145 wrench on ebay a year ago, $45.00 plus tax and shipping. Unlike other examples shown here, the sizes (9/16 and 3/8) and EE-2145 are all stamped on the same side. No markings as to maker. The 3/8" square also fits the clamping screws on the trip dogs for the ELSR on my 1977 10EE.

Wrench looks straight, carriage clamping screw head looks un-tapered.

Here is the carriage wrench I have. It does have some shape to it.

This is the new original still available from Monarch D1-3 wrench. Look at the end. They did a very nice radius and the square is hardened. You can crank on it and you feel no twist. Monarch, First Class

What is the price on Monarch's D1-3 wrench?
