Hello From Ohio

[homefactory]

It has a threading gearbox, power cross slide and even a taper function. So large you could hold a smaller 3 jaw chuck in the 4 jaw

Check what it needs for power. Likely at least 220 3 phase but might need 440. Ask them what the power input is.

Check what parts availability is if it needs work.

electric 3/60/220/440

this looks promising as well

BTW that peacemaker weighs 15,000LBS

See you are in a nice area of the country for used machinery. That Monarch for $1100 looks nice. Would be helpful to find someone close that can go with you to look at things. Guys at that machinery place might help you with honest impressions and options especially if you go in there wanting to buy a mill and lathe from them. Better to see them in use but there is the 30 day thing, ask about restocking fees.

there restock isnt to bad, they also exept offers so maybe i could get a deal on a lath mill package

Nice prices there and it is local to you. I'd take a day and go down there to look around.

Look for something with parts available, hopefully company still going for parts if needed.

Nice Monarch there. Need someone knowledgeable to look at it for wear.

Look at this cabinet for tools. Blue Print cabinet. Very nice to be able to lay out all the lathe and mill tools so you can open a drawer and look over all your things. Pick out the next tool for your quick change tool post on the lathe and put the last one away, etc.. Line the drawers with rubber mat for toolboxes to protect the tools.

This one may be a bit high price, maybe not. But something to look out for for your machine shop.

something like this will definitely be on the list one my core machines are in house

That's an easy fix.

I forgot, modern electronics trumps 1980's electronics. Sure it's simple now.

for more than just price, this guy seems really promising, it looks to be 40,s 50,s era which I believe is all American made, these seem to be around enough to find parts.

What do you think?

I would avoid the round ram Bridgeport, the part the head is connected to the base. It is very old. Be sure the Bridgeport has R8 collet capability, some very old ones don't and tooling might be limited.


And you are torturing some of the people on here with those low prices...
