Shit, Sas, you are 9 feet tall and weigh 700 pounds (that's 2.74320 meters and 317.460317 kilograms to you), so pretty much everydamnthing is "too small".

I met a guy who said you used to wear an IBM Selectric typewriter on a length of log chain around your neck as "fashion accessory" back in your hippie days.

Anyhow, regardless of size, that Monarch sure is purty.

thats a beautiful lathe, but it looks like a jet 920 with a thyroid condition. on off switch convieniently placed 18" off the ground, and dead in line with the chuck. nice.
