That 2-ton beast won't help season your un-cored piece. :grin:
I sprayed a bunch of cues today.
I'm doing well, thanks.
One or two Singaporeans might be shooting some stix from here soon.

Freaking sweet Joey. Besides getting everything dead nuts easier you never have to worry about a guy grabbing it and putting it in his trunck, :thumbup:
 
The Monarch 10EE is an excellent lathe, certainly tool-room quality and precision.
A bit pricey but worth every penny.
The spindle ID changes by machine as does HP. It's drive motor is DC.
Very informative reading here:

It's on my wishlist for my next lathe purchase, that or a Cinci Tray-Top.

you could put it on a trailor

and take it to tournaments for tips and shaft cleaning !!!!!!!
 
Why not. Just put some little wheels on it.
With a ramp, it should roll on and off the back of your truck fairly easy.

Tie a rope around to pull it.

It would be simple to put that one in my basement. As soon as it hit the top of the stairs, the stairs would collapse and it would be in the basement instantly. Along with me.
 
I'm pretty good on a manual lathe,but even for me that EE would have me looking online for a manual,because doing something stupid like confusing the feed lever with the half-nut would be real easy on a machine like that.

The owner of the billiard supply near Memphis has an Enco 9x20 for his tip and ferrule lathe,no problem there cause it's very similar to my Enco.

His lathe for doing larger work is a Hardinge HLV-H,with an extended bed that allows him to put a butt or shaft between centers. It must have been surplused out of a medical lab or something,because it wasn't just repainted,it still had factory paint and didn't show any signs of being used more than a few times. Had a roll cart full of associated tooling as well.

That machine would have a nice learning curve too. Variable feed rate from 4-100 IPM,variable spindle speed from 40-3000 RPM,and standard threads ranging from 4-220 TPI. I honestly think it would take me a couple days to make it do all it's capable of.

He said he only traded an AR-15 for it too. Tommy D.

Nice upgrade you got for your shop, JB.

They are a very nice lathe to use. Trouble is, when you get used to such nice gear, you realise what a piece of junk other brands new gear really is.

And when you get used to boring and threading with this, you find out routers are a compromise. :eek:
It threads wood so clean in one pass going out . :grin:
The countersink makes a clean center hole too.

I need to get one of those spindles.
My new cutters are working amazingly well.
