Hi All! Well, ive wanted a Lathe for over 20 years, and yesterday was finally the day! A mate of mine that works in machining, managed to get me an old 1943 Monarch lathe for about $500US (Im in Australia)
Now, please go easy on me guys, I don't really even know the correct terminology for stuff yet, im 'very' new to anything like this, but hoping I can gain some info from you knowledgeable blokes!
So, as far as I can tell, its CK 12", the plate with the model number on etc, is fairly hard to read...so could be a CY, or CK on there...hard to tell.
Im assuming they are a fairly capable lathe ?
