Please talk me out of upgrading my lathe to a Monarch 10ee art deco masterpiece.

@th Sure, but please wait until I'm done with matching the of Amazing Grace to the brand new lyrics for "Amazing Lathe (how sweet the sound)..."

[petrillic@hachyderm.io]

@th absolutely not. Everyone deserves a 10EE. I will however encourage you to repaint it to a better and more interesting color.

A friend had one in candy apple red. Spectacular.

@th get it you will not regret it

[pconnelly@mastodon.social]

@th I will never talk someone out of a 10ee

@th
No problem, you can just use it to fix your current lathe and then put it up on marketplace

@th separated at birth? #crushinator

[catdragon@mastodon.world]

@th that is one sexy piece of equipment.

[redrummy@ohai.social]

@th That's even sexier than the oldest lathe in my college machine shop, which was arguably better than anything newer alongside it. What a work of art.

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@th We have one at @millforge and it is a thing of beauty. The motor is as big around as a car tire, and it runs almost completely silently. It's also controlled by a giant box of tubes inside that deco end cap on a pair of sliding rails for service.

[mosttoast@bostonmusic.online]

@th I will talk you into it. It is an excellent idea.

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@AnguaDelphine @th There's still a pretty active user base for them, and iirc, there is a solid-state drop-in replacement for the big thyristor tubes now too.

@th

You should upgrade to a Monarch 10ee machine lathe.

Surely a person wouldn't regret upgrading to a Monarch 10ee machine lathe?

[derek@www.glidden.life]

@th No can do, that machine is a beauty.

[gamesmissed@mastodon.social]

@th Shan't.

[ronjeffries@mastodon.social]

@th
Sorry, no can do!

[jerry@mas.to]

@th Sorry, no can do!

[funkylab@mastodon.social]

@lopta the thing is, @th knows that excess mass is actually a feature in a lathe, not a problem.
