Post by Jeff in Pa »

I was making a few drive couplers and took a short video of a couple cuts of my 1942 Monarch CK 12 lathe. .250 removed each pass

125 & 125 with hydraulic lift

Thanks Dave ,
I still don't understand why I don't see the original link ?

Jeff , nice video . :thumbsup:

I'm always fascinated with metal lathes and have had a couple of opportunities in the past to buy one , but never did .

I could kick myself now for not pulling the trigger , but its on my short list of things I plan on getting in the near future , along with a hydraulic bearing press and sand blast cabinet .
