Interesting we're talking about M-2 hss tool steel, which seems to hold an average cutting edge under load; I've got a substantial collection of T-1 (18% Tungsten) European tool steel that performs far greater than M-2 & will hv to give it a try with brazing. Have only used it with...
Seems I recall adding a sleeve bushing to the elevation screw on my Millrite yrs ago due a similar problem. Limited the knee lift by 1" but solved the weak issue as I recall. Sure do miss that little Mill as well!!
That's an interesting thought; would have to agree that he was probably buying the Makino named machines. I believe R K Leblond has been bought out under several different names over that last 2 decades or so. Just very sad these current production machines these days can't hold their own...
Someone else will have to speak regarding the quality of the new Leblonds but I can say I bought 15 x 30 and 15 x 84 Square head Leblonds; 1970's vintage several yrs ago from a Lifelong Machinist in N Georgia and the gentleman called me back 5 months later and asked if I would be willing...
Dale,
I believe we determined that version to fit possibly a Cincinnati Hydroshift. I have an exact same model that appears to go with maybe a 19" machine. Another member was looking for a smaller size. Send a PM and we can compare dimensions to see if yours matches or is smaller than...
Teddy,
I agree with Mark,
I've only run across one Adcock Shipley 1ES in 25 yrs, and I own it now. Move on to a true vertical mill and keep that fine machine set up for what it was intended for. Accessories for these older machines were out there 50 yrs ago but are nonexistent these days...
I believe there's one of those Gorton nmtb 40 quick change arbors in our misc pile at the shop if you determine you have a use for it. As much trouble as you're having getting it to release, it is definitely sounding more like a B & S taper. Used to hate those.
I ran into a B S (SYOZ)...
My two older L & S's will swing just over 15" for the 14" model; 18 1/2" on the 16" and I believe the 20" PT will push at least 22" if I recall. Guess they didnt want anyone to OVERSTRESS they're light duty machinery!!!:D
Good luck with the new beast. I run 2 of those regularly and have completely rehabbed the 1941 version. We have some misc parts laying that may get you out of trouble with missing pics.

A very fine machine you have there! Not sure i ever saw that Hydro-- version of Monarch out there!! I would have to believe there is some form of adjustment to close that distance on the lever travel for braking! Had my eyes on a Model 61yrs ago; sure hate that one slipped through my...
When I reach down and grab those L & S handles and pull up I can feel those beast come alive!! All these electric switches just kind of leave You COLD!! Haaa! :codger:
Guess its an Old Guy Things!! 🇺🇸
