    @Mcgyver I’ve heard that before. Those and the hardinge seem to be the fan favorites for small envelope lathes. Might be the perfect fit for an old nice machine tool enthusiast.

    Monarch 10EE

    Someone on here was saying that the 10ee could NOT be simply retrofitted with a VFD, after I suggested the same. I remember the conversation, and the reasons were super solid. I realized I know NOTHING about the monarch 10ee. I forget who it was but they seemed to know quite a bit about those...
