Awesome!

I was embarrassed to admit I threw $3,000 at this project when I got it home. But after getting things figured out, it is thankfully turning out better than expected. These lathes leak, require special attention, cost $$$ to fix...but also are amazing! Still lots more to do, but I was able...

I'm also bitten by the Monarch bug. Just finally got mine after posting a wanted ad on the HAMB. I'm super excited as I get it in working shape! Yours looks great!

I finally found one! Not running yet, but it is close... Just working on figuring out the MG drive. I'm super happy with this project so far. My old car projects are getting 0% of my attention now! :D Looks frumpy, but it is in surprisingly better shape than I expected!

VERY cool. I just got a series 60 13" Monarch. Intimidating, but super amazing. Contant surface speed, now that is cool!

Listen to the wisdom above!!! South Bend, South Bend, South Bend! They are awesome. Same with Sheldon, which seem actually beefier and more industrial, but much harder to find parts for. I am new to machining, having started with no experience just under 4 years ago. That said, It is...

WOW! Super cool. Congratulations! This reminds me of those rare times when I've scored an unbelievable treasure. It is impossible not to spread the news!

It was on eBay NOS for $349 with free shipping. I was surprised with free shipping, and nervously took the plunge. The seller had two of them listed Buy-it-Now, one had already sold.

Re: How many ratchets do you own ? 1/4": 7 3/8": 6 1/2": 6 I think... Mostly Craftsman, an Armstrong, a Williams and I think a Stanley.

Oh and yes, there is a Fastenal close by.

Perfect! Thanks!! As for shipping, my area code is 84664. I probably have to wait on purchasing since I have a 2041/2 coming. But originally your model I wanted most, just lots more money.

Still hoping someone has a 204-1/2 they can measure height on...

Throatless Shear: PASS. And I hate admitting that, since it is a shameful outright forgery of the Beverly Shear. The HF one I bought about 3 years ago cuts unbelievably well, no chipping of blades. (I finally found a real Beverly at the swap meet which I'm restoring...so I can feel warm and...

Thanks drivesitfar! I use the same one your selling at work, which got me addicted to these vises. I want to buy the next model down but would be bummed if it is a lot shorter than I expected. How much plus shipping for yours??
