Keep your work, great inspiration for us. You are a very authentic and honest person in your communication, that has a lot of value for some of what we see your work and your conversation about it.
Quality of your videos continues to improve with each one. I really enjoy seeing what you’re doing. Keep hoping someone will take an interest in the Monarch.
Thank you. I am really trying to grow the channel and I'm having fun doing it. I think I have a possible buyer, and a backup plan if that doesn't work out. Will keep everyone informed.
Watch the long sleeves in the chuck. I came closer then I ever want to getting tangled up last Thursday doing the same filing that you are doing in the vid. It took the button off my Carhart jacket. Just because it's cold in the shop don't let your guard down like I did.
Glad you're safe. Safety is always my top priority. I usually watch a video of someone getting wrapped up once a week to keep me on edge. It's a risk, but I always am super careful.
Thanks for another great video, Josh, I really enjoy watching your work. I'd be all over that lathe you have for sale, but the shipping to get it to me in S. Korea would be a little pricey, LOL! All the best, Jon
Nice repair and set-up, like the tape measure clipped to the saw, I hate searching for tools, I have a toolroom sized lathe and lathe, even though there are only 3 metres apart, I have 99% of the tools at each machine. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your work particularly the large pieces you do by yourself. I was surprised, however, that you didn't plug weld those stub shafts in light of the trouble they caused previously.
Variety is the biggest reason I hate CNC. I don't do the same parts for months at a time. I do small quantities spaced out over a long time. Keeps life interesting.
Why not flip the end plugs around 180 degrees and weld a new shaft into that side? (Only insert the shaft half way when making them ) or make them double ended then you just remove the puck , flip it then weld back in. Less labor as the plugs are used twice . Charge the same tho .
These are all just CR1018, just because they are a consumable roller. But they do come out good. The old monarchs is running wide open at 487RPM and feeding .010/rev. Thanks for watching.
That's a great question. When I upgraded to 3 phase, we calculated out 400 Amps needed at maximum draw. Since I plan to continue growing, we had primary brought in to the yard and I have 1200 Amps of 208V 3 Phase. Just for reference, my current average monthly electric bill is around $500/month.
Hi Josh I know this idea might be counterproductive but if nobody will buy the monarch in the next couple weeks might be a good idea to store it have you thought about building a wood dog house or like a coffin / shipping crate maybe wrapped in plastic or tar paper and a couple rolls of rolled roofing in case you might have it for 6 months or a year just an idea good luck with selling it and thanks for all the videos.JM
@@randydeboer832 you are correct. It could come out. But more than likely with these they are usually damaged too far to even replace. Most of the time the tube gets bent.
Josh, please don't wear long sleeves while filing on the lathe my dad was a tool and die maker for 40 years and always warned about that please be careful

I gave a like when he lubricated the drill. 👍 Whim. And good idea too.

Well done on the roller repair Josh, And may you find a buyer for the lathe soon.

Great project and it was fun to watch you make and fit the end

Thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel. Great video I like the old machinery you have
Good workman like repair.
Like the weld positioner, neat.
Fingers crossed for the Monarch.
Thanks. I have a potential buyer coming Monday, and the auction people coming Tuesday if that falls through.
Such nice heavy duty lathe

Great video ! It's good to get a variety of work in the shop and your welding is very good too! Good luck with the sale of your Monarc lathe

@@TopperMachineLLC I never liked CNC too. Very boring even if I don't know anything about it
Great video Josh, keep'um coming..
Like your channel. Thanks for sharing. Like your old Monarch too
Looking good nice handy one
Good video
Damn nice welds there josh
Thanks. Would be better if I had the drive on the roller stands, but that's coming.
Wondering why you didn't freeze the plugs and get an even tighter fit??
Brass hammers work well and do less damage.
Shouldn't these shafts have a revolution counter to indicate when to replace the bushing?
thanks for sharing
Nice repair job there Josh . So i am still guessing , a long bed lathe to handle long high speed rollers ! Cheers .
Lol. keep.watching. it's coming. Hopefully by the end of the month.
will you put a starting taper on your parts
What steel are you using sir
That a Monarch?

Thanks for sharing! The surface finishes look good! What alloy material are you using? Also what feed and speeds are you using? Thanks!

Great video but why sell the monarch lathe its a teriffic machine
Need the room
I can understand why you are so busy. You have so many repeat customers and they know you will do it right the first time for them.
sir, how much electrical power is installed in your place to meet the needs of the overall work tool, is there a limit set by the provider?
That's a great question. When I upgraded to 3 phase, we calculated out 400 Amps needed at maximum draw. Since I plan to continue growing, we had primary brought in to the yard and I have 1200 Amps of 208V 3 Phase. Just for reference, my current average monthly electric bill is around $500/month.
@@TopperMachineLLComg..sir with that much installed power, in my area it can be used for 120 houses😲
@@victimovtalent6036 where are you located? It's kind of funny, alot of people think I'm just a bit shop, but this is my full time business.
@@TopperMachineLLC 3rd world country sir,for sure😁
@@victimovtalent6036 thanks for watching. I hope you're learning and being entertained by my work.
Josh, is this veneer mill located in Birchwood by chance?
I work with several veneer mills, but that is not one of them.

I contracted with an machinery auction house this morning for their January auction. It will be gone by early February. Thanks.
Let's go visit my buddy, Bobby Chuckitup.
How much is the machine?
Is that tube seamless? Or have you previously clean out the seam?
It's ERW tubing. So it has a seam, but very small.
Probably a stupid question but why wouldn't you make a threaded end shaft to fit into a puck so replacement is much easier?
I would think that if you would thread it in that there may be a possibility that it could come loose.
@@randydeboer832 you are correct. It could come out. But more than likely with these they are usually damaged too far to even replace. Most of the time the tube gets bent.
That's a pretty big Johnson.
I've been told that many times.
Josh, please don't wear long sleeves while filing on the lathe my dad was a tool and die maker for 40 years and always warned about that please be careful
Wrong hammer
