WTB: Fadal VMC 15 or Similar (SW Pa)
Hello, I’m looking to buy my first VMC for use in my garage, doing prototype work and small run production. My search has led me to 90s era Fadal’s as a solid and cost effective first machine.

Scraping tool inserts alternative?

Monarch 16CY Questions

I'm a hobbyist / home shopper in the market for a lathe and came across a Monarch 16CY 18x30 from 1942 that appears to be in decent condition. The only thing I dislike about it is that it's configured as the low speed (487...- Mountainman77
