That one was the buy of the century .That's a Monarch 10" EE toolmakers lathe .Most likely one the most accurate lathes ever made ..
Al, it is awesome to be able to use the lathe to make your own tools. Let's see, how much is a lathe???
The last one of it's kind was at Monarch in Sidney Ohio with a price tag of over a hundred thou .The one sold prior to that went to United aircraft at around 90 thou .The one at work ,early 90's cost 68 thou .
Old Al the hustler got that 1957 gem for 800 cash .
