I am buying three machines.

1) Axelson 16-48 or so lathe with moderate wear
2) Monarch 16-30 model C or some such lathe, with severe way wear
3) Cincinnati 50 taper horizontal mill.

The price is $1,000 for all.

I am thinking what to do with them. My plan, as of now, is to

1) Take the tailstock and a couple of things for the Monarch
2) Scrap the Monarch and Cincinnati for cash
3) Sell the tailstock
4) Keep, refurbish and sell the axelson.

My assumption regarding the above is that a Monarch with severe way
wear is not economically repairable.

Am I wrong about that?


1) Axelson lathes never die.

2) Way wear is mostly only a problem for the inexperienced operator--at any rate, it would probably still work just fine for polishing rolls, welding drivelines and so forth.

3) Agreed that the horizontal is probably more useful as a boat anchor, although the table would probably make nice tooling for a boring mill or horizontal cnc, or it could serve as a very nice starting point for a heavy duty hobby type gantry style cnc milling machine.

Additionally, the electric motors are probably worth pulling out to resell for cash.
