I listed one of my surplus monarch 10ee follow rests (image below) on e-bay, and cannot remember having seen any factory photos of the various configurations of 10ee follow rests. I have at least 3 different styles, 2 of which have carbide inserts, but this monster must have been made for oversize or heavy stock as it's range is 3/8" to 2 & 3/4".

Does anyone have a scan of a 10 ee accessory (if one exists?) brochure picturing these units. I have plenty of 10ee literature, but little data on accessories.

I don't know, I have a 2 fingered one. I put in a bid on your 3 fingered one, but probably will get blown out of the water. I really would like one of those carbide ones.

Would you guys find a pic of my collection of 3 point follow rests side by side? I know I have at least 3 different styles, My favorite one has tiny clamp fingers that grip little (1/8" or so) sections of carbide round bar.
I will try and assemble them all together and snap a pic and post it here. I am very curious as I had mentioned, if and where Monarch published the various follow rest configurations.

I did a search and came up with "follow rest question" by clampman it shows pictures of several different kinds.

If you get a chance post a pictures of yours.

That's a style I've never seen. Some years ago I posted a message with pictures of those I knew, I can't find it even with Google's site search. Here are the images I still have.

This is the nicest - robust and has carbide rods in the fingers. Makes cutting long ACME a breeze:

This is from a brochure and is the second nicest one I have:

This is (I think) the rarest type for the 10EE. Kind of art deco, I had a line on one once but some guy in Dallas snatched it away at the last moment:

This is the most common, the 2 leg rest:

If you get a chance could you post pictures of your MONARCH too; post and Monarch tool holders.
I know you've post them before but I can't seem to find them.

Thanks

Looks like the high selling price of my follow rest prompted this dealer to cut and past my description and list his 3 point carbide tipped follow rest also as "new". I wonder if Monarch "amputated" the third leg and forgot to paint the "stump" ? see photos.

I wouldn't guess that was a factory Monarch modification. They would have painted it.

Someone had a DRO on their lathe and made it fit.

I have a two point rest (far right in Brett's image above) that has been cut off in exactly the same way as the unit in the auction. Cut surface looks exactly the same. I have a DRO on my machine so it saved me any modification when I got it.
