Ultradog Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 What the hey? It has been nearly 2 weeks since anyone posted here. Somebody Must be up to Something fun. I have been getting away from messing with tractors as much and going back to an old interest of mine. I've bought a few old machine shop tools and am slowly setting up a machine shop in the garage. I had an old Leblond lathe that I was using but it was so worn out it wouldn't hold tolerances anymore. So I sold it recently as a big manufacturing plant auction was coming and I wanted the $ to put into a better one. The auction was on Tuesday and I won this old CK12 Monarch. Monarchs were kind of the queen of lathes back in the day and needless to say I'm tickled to get one. The size is 14.5X30 if that means anything to you. I'm going to go to pick it up tomorrow morning. It's a big honkin thing. Weighs just over 2 tons. Will take a week or two to get it set in place, leveled and power run to it before I can use it but then watch out chips cause here we come. So that's my plan. What are you folks up to this weekend.

wtnhunt Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Wife is working, so me and the kids. May load up some rounds. May ring steel targets. Dunno though, nothing planned. Really i need to be getting a lot of work done around here before late May, but it is so wet and rotten here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
