I used a 15' Monarch Lathe in a Friends shop to take 4 inch DIA Round stock of hard half yellow and square them clean it up for engraving , see pics.
I use these rolls for Leather tooling in my Business.
He closed shop and the Equipment was sold as he was in too deep.
I have production Equipment on my Floor and a small space for a Lathe and I see this Combo Lathes, like Bolton and grizzly and wonder if they are cut out to handle what I did on the Monarch. But I can't place a Lathe like a Monarch on my Floor.
