  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Monarch 10EE

Hello from the states. Sorry to crash the Canada party but this forum is awesome and I frequently lurk and read. I'm in Alabama and was recently in Keith's shop to do some horse trading on Kearney&Trecker 2D parts (I had a Hilger&Watts box level he wanted and he had some spare collets and attachments I wanted). He's still working on the 10EE and it's a really nice machine - very little in the way of wear or issues other than electrical. Another buddy of his is an electrical/software engineer and is helping Keith (who is very capable himself on electronic issues but not to the level required for this) to design essentially the ultimate solution for the square dial version of the lathe which will maintain the superior benefits of the original drives but with modern control. Last I talked to him he had had some parts issues.

I told him I was disappointed he ever got rid of that Rivett 1020s but apparently it was a nightmare on the electrics. I'm in the process of restoring a 1956 Hendey Tool&Gage lathe - if any of you are members of PM I have a thread there on it.

Curious what the ‘nightmare in electrics’ a Rivett 1020 would have? On first glance seems to be remarkably simpler than a 10EE or later generation Hendey Tool n Gage lathes. In fact I turned down a good mechanical condition late model Hendey T&G lathe just five miles away from me due to its electric system.
