Hi,
I recently bought an old Monarch toolroom lathe.
The brass name plate is missing, so I'm not sure of the model.
It looks like a 20" swing and 48" between centers.
I went through the whole thing and got everything cleaned up
and working, but I can't figure out what spindle mount is on it.
It has a large ( about 8-1/4" diameter ) flange that has a bolt
hole pattern slightly larger than A2-8 and the taper is larger than
A2 also. I read that it might be called a "Monarch 1930 spindle"
in the manual that came with it. Are there adaptors available to
maybe say convert this to A1-8? Or is it better if I just make my own
back plate fitted to whatever chuck I find.
Thanks,
Mike
