• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

You Guys Will Enjoy This

Watched that vid earlier today, some good stuff on his channel. Another guy i watch regularly is Steve Summers. Very informative
 
Jason is very well spoken and shoots great video. He did a super job showing how the machine works - crazy big machine!!!

Great points on Jason's video and content quality, I would love to have that bench vise he built!
 
This video is very nostalgic. At work, we bought a couple of machines from Carr. Our Monarch 62 is the lathe at the lower left corner. Just behind the yellow double pulley at 3:00 is the 54” Webster Bennet we bought.He had maybe a dozen Monarchs, half a dozen Cincinnati mills. The one in the video isn’t the biggest one Carr had. Carr had a Cincinatti boring mill with a 16ft x 12ft table. It could drill a 12” hole end-to-end through a Dodge Ram. Carr’s shop was a machinist’s wet dream. All old iron, all meticulously rebuilt.
 
A machinists’ machinist. I think he did lots of pulp mill and shipyard stuff. Also had the sweetest model train track and engines running around the perimeter of the shop yard. He taught a lot of apprentices over the years. He collected old gear, when he closed the business he probably had 100 + machines in his shop and outbuildings. From memory, I think we paid about $8k for the Webster Bennet, so pretty reasonable price. The Monarch was $12K, also a good price. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the gear, although Lenmark Industries in Langley, BC still show some of the stuff on their website.
