Скачать или смотреть Making the First chips with the Big Monarch Lathe

I figured it was about time to start getting the Monarch earning some of its keep. While it isn't 100% up to snuff yet I had a job come in that I thought would be good for it doing a clean up facing job. It turns out I am not very good at indicating in a 3 sided object with the only reference surface being a machined taper and also having to use the hoist to keep the 100lb part up in the chuck and not fell out on the lathe ways. It took me over an hour to get it running true. After I took it out of the machine I measured the splined bore versus the face and it was indeed perpindicular within .002" over 4" so despite the fact the rough casting made it look like it was wobbling it was an optical illusion. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed getting to see me fix the first part using the Monarch series 90. Probably one of the only videos on the net of one of these machines in actual operation. :-)
