10ee Monarch part needed
« on: May 15, 2018, 03:46:46 PM »
Guys, I’m looking for the half nut lever for my 1944 10ee. I contacted Monarch and for the paltry sum of $622US they can provide me with one ( no that’s not a typo)  :facepalm:  I don’t mind buying some items from them to help keep the company alive, but, that’s ridiculous. Y’all keep your eyes open  for one please

Thanks
Cletus

You can buy a whole Sherline lathe for that!   :o


How complex is the lever, something makeable?

Naw Cletus
It’s we have one, you need one, so we call the tune

My aim is for a accurate part with a good finish

Maybe they are thinking of it as rent, just $8 per year!

I’m guessing they have to make a pattern and have one cast, but, that’s just a guess. Actually it’s just the “knob end” that’s broken off. If I can’t find one, may look at brazing on a ball.

Aw com' on Whiskey, a quick drill into each part, a loose fitting dowel pin and some JB Weld and you've saved yourself six hundred bucks :Lol: I'll send my consultation fee forthwith  :lolb:

Breaking things is a bummer at the best of times - fixing it is a just reward  ;)

Hang on in there - Tug

Tug, I know you are just trying to increase stockholders dividends on JB Weld  :lolb:, however, you’ve given me a great idea. I think if I was to mix up a batch and let it go off just enough to form a ball , I could form it onto the lever and file to suit for appearance. As a consummate user: do you think this is possible  :shrug:.

Edit: After reading a couple of other posts today; it appears you’ve brought Jasonb onto the JB Weld board of directors  :lolb: :lolb: :cheers: :cheers: Just having a  :stickpoke:

Nice one Jason  :D Welcome to the board  ;)

Whiskey - that should work as after about an hour in a warm environment it does start to thicken however if you can get some 'colloidal silica' from an epoxy supplier then mixing this with it will give the effect immediately to the exact degree you want - the more you mix in the thicker, stodgy-er it becomes without any great diminution of the strength and certainly not for how you want to use it in this application.

Good Lord that sounds like something I’d have to drink before one of those “stick a tube somewhere “ tests  :lolb: :lolb:  Maybe just pinning a ball and smoothing with Miliput, er, I mean JB Weld will work  :lolb:

How about this instead:

drill tap a piece of 1/4" rod and attach that to the lever with a coating of JB.  Then drill/tap a ball bearing.  Attach the two with a bit of threaded rod and some loctite.
