    Monarch Model K - Gear box clutch position 'E' not fully engaging

    Long story short the gear box levers weren't moving as freely as I wanted them to. I removed everything necessary to remove the gear box. And would continue down that path except for 1 bolt that looks insanely hard to get out. I'd need to try to get one of the famous Monarch tapered pins out...

    Model 16K cross slide crank handle...disassembly procedure?

    Any knowledge on how to disassemble a Monarch cross feed crank handle assembly? Those two holes on the front look like they may accommodate a pin wrench? I don't have one that size. Before ordering a smaller pin wrench I thought it best to check with you guys.

    Model 16K - Saddle and Taper attachment clean up

    Continuing the refresh on the Model 16K. The oil lines all flushed out OK. As much as I will ever use this lathe I'll be manually oiling when needed; won't be relying on the Bijur system. Most of the internet references re molten sulphur were Old Testament...so I went back with...

    Added a Racine Power Hacksaw to the shop

    This looked like more fun than a band saw. Only 6x6 capacity but that will work (until it doesn't). Road trip to Missouri to pick it up. Closer pickup than some of the other stuff in the 'collection'.

    Model K16...new apron worm gear AND what is this 4th shaft in the apron for??

    In the process of cleaning up the apron. Ordered a new brass worm gear. There is a set of grooved/textured/knurled 'rings' on the left side (indicated with the arrow). A shaft that runs the length of the bed passes through them. The shaft is smooth with 2 keyways 180 degrees apart...

    Brown and Sharpe Omniversal - brought one home

    Someone mentioned to my father they had a mill that was taking up space. I wasn't looking for horizontal but when I was home in spring I went to check it out. Yeah, I'll take it. :) Don't have good pics of loading it. Always too busy when that's going on. 1,100 plus mile haul one way...

    Model K starts, runs for 3 seconds, then motor stops - updated!

    I have a Monarch Model K 16 x 54 (5HP). Bought it over a year ago. Seller started it up, ran it through the gears, etc. So all good there. Based on tags on the machine it looks like it was originally installed at Corpus Christi - U.S. Army Transportation Aeronautical Depot Maintenance Center...

    Is this LeBlond Regal 17" worth going to look at?

    I've had the lathe 'itch' for a while. Time to think about scratching it. Came across this on CL. LeBlond 17" Regal. LeBlond Regal 17" Lathe - tools - by owner - sale The thing that has me semi-interested in this one is its history with the Manitowoc Shipyard during WWII (building...
