    20" Steptoe Shaper Rebuild. Help needed.

    Am now recalling... There are some differences between "John Steptoe" shapers, and the later "Steptoe-Western" shapers. So S/N format likely re-giggled when Steptoe became part of Western. Find out when that happened, and yours is probably before that date.

    20" Steptoe Shaper Rebuild. Help needed.

    That "number" doesn't match up to what is listed in my S/N books. See photo below. I used to have a late model 14" Steptoe and the S/N was stamped on the top of the ram (like yours) and it did have a similar format to that shown in the S/N book. Although mine was from 1969. Yours looks...

    Year of Mfg of Monarch 10EE

    That seems like a whole lotta lathes in one year. It was the war years, and a lot was produced. I wonder if some of those s/n's covered various specilaized tooling, machines returned for repurpose, rework, special projects, etc. IOW... each s/n may not represent a discreet full standalone...

    Year of Mfg of Monarch 10EE

    My S/N ref book would place that S/N about 1942. You might check the S/N "Sticky Thread" at the top of the Monarch forum as well. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/general-information-s-n-registry-history-patents-tooling-etc.393192/

    Hardinge indexer "clones"

    @stephen thomas : I believe I have solved your original question that started this thread. While searching for old dividing head images from this mornings other "Hardinge Thread"... I realized I had a 12 page "Hardinge Collet Index Fixtures" in my collection of machine brochures. Brochure is...

    Help Identify This Hardinge Hand Tool?

    I believe that "blocky" style design dividing head is the "first variant" style. I have no idea where the photo/illustration came from. Agree on the tailstock and those thumbscrews, have never seen those before. Perhaps its a pre-production illustration? Perhaps @L Vanice knows more?

    Kennedy model 516

    It's in pretty sad shape. Can't see it being worth much at all. Is there something unique about it other than being an older chest?

    Hardinge indexer "clones"

    To add more mystery to it all... You would recognize this tailstock to be one that goes w/ the typical Hardinge HV-4N type indexers. But a closer look at this one and it is marked... "Tree Machine Tool Co, Inc, Racine, WI". My theory is the design for these were licensed to Tree for their own...
