    10EE face plate D1-3

    Good Monarch 10EE faceplate for sale, D1-3 mount. If it weren't for the two drilled holes I'd say it was never used. $250 plus shipping, or make me an offer. Andy

    Does anyone recognize this slotter?

    Yes, Lobdell Car Wheel Co. produced both machines. I assume (as I have not researched) that Lobdell had manufacturing capabilities that the inventors did not... a large foundry operation, among other things.

    Taper attachment chip guard CAD files

    Great idea. I like the rolled edge of the baking sheet vs. the plain edge of the OEM steel ones. As an aside, Monarch has the original steel covers in stock for $60 each.

    Does anyone recognize this slotter?

    The brochures I found on Vintage Machinery lists six sizes. I'd like to have the 10". The one in Portsmouth looks to be one of the larger ones.

    ER32 and ER40 torque wrench adaptors

    It's more about the self-appointed classified police making a hobby of shitting on any thread that rubs them the wrong way.

    Does anyone recognize this slotter?

    Well, I stared at it some more and answered my own question. The traveling head is interesting... first time I've seen that on a slotter. It's on Facebook Marketplace in Portsmouth, OH if anyone is interested.

    Does anyone recognize this slotter?

    On Facebook. Can't quite read the name on the side. This is the only photo.

    Narragansett Lathe For Sale on Craigslist

    I think for some folks the "civil war era" means any time in the 1800s.

    Lodge and Shipley 20” lathe?

    The patent head isn't really a geared head. The lathe itself has only three speeds (open belt and two back gear ranges). L&S originally provided an overhead geared countershaft that could be configured for three or six speeds (and must have made quite a racket). Every patent head lathe I've seen...

    Lodge and Shipley 20” lathe?

    I have a 20" Patent Head from 1913. I also have a bunch of early 20s 20" selective head parts I saved from one we scrapped. Let me know what parts you need, I may have something that will work.

    Yankee drill grinder by Covel

    I found a government price list from 1941 that lists Covel's various drill grinder models. Apparently this had a point thinning attachment on the left hand side. Would still like to see some catalog pages if anyone has them. Thanks.

    Yankee drill grinder by Covel

    I picked this drill grinder up at HGR recently. I was familiar with the older Wilmarth & Morman "New Yankee" drill grinders, but never knew that Covel continued to manufacture them. Does anyone have a Covel catalog showing this machine? I'm curious to know what was mounted on the left hand side...

    Unusual Socket set

    Snap-On's first ratchet (1920s) was of a similar design.

    Planer question

    It's hard to get around the fact that half of a shaper or planer's motion is wasted. Various attempts have been made to make planers cut in both directions since the 1800s, but none were all that successful. According to a buddy of mine, Gray was trying to develop a machine that would do that...
