So, I went and bought this Monarch with a 30" swing. I don't need it, but it was going to scrap and I wanted to save this beautiful, dirty, machine from dying a horrible death. It has a 4 bolt square tool holder on it now, but I am wondering about a CXA quick change for it. Is it unreasonable to think a CXA would work OK on this lathe?
Now, keep in mind that this lathe will not see production work while I own it. It will be stored/used in a shop at an antique farm equipment/machine show, and used mostly when the show goes on, in September, for demonstrations, but I will have access to use it when I need something that big throughout the year, once we can get electricity to it. We will also use it to fix the other antique equipment there, if needed.
Thanks,
Chris
