@@wolfy9005 I haven't seen any of his cooking for a good while but from what I can remember it sure seemed to be mouth wateringly tasty. Makes you wonder if Adam missed his calling as BBQ Chef? Probably not but he might start a cooking channel.
Hi Adam, you might want to check on the springs in that clutch assembly (the ones that release the lever mechanism, not the ones you replaced). Some of them seem to be on the inside of the little levers while others are on the outside. I would expect them all to be on the outside. I also saw one that is right on top of the lever and it seemed to be wearing a groove in it. At 20:47 in the video you can see one that is in between the levers. And at 21:19 there is one right on top of the lever. I don't think they are supposed to be like that but I've never serviced a lathe so I'm not sure.
Good eye, Luc! Yeah, that one spring doesn't look right. It's either broken or it slipped out of place. I didn't see any of the others like that one. Rich
I usually have to plan well ahead and can end up partially rebuilding something just to machine a part I need for an upgrade or improvement to the same machine. Another advantage to 2 lathes is having the 3 jaw on one and the 4 jaw on another. Mine always has the other one on it when you walk up to it!
Makes you wonder what they used when they made the very first lathe......... and like, if the man who invented the drawing board had got it wrong - what would he have gone back to? :-/
When I watch you work on this lathe I often think of the men and the times when they made it. They would be pleased with the way you are using and maintaining it so many years later.
@Devin Heaps He really is amazing...both in the precision of his work AND his passion for learning. He’s a helluva role model for younger machinists or those wanting to learn the trade.
Adam always repairs things the correct way....never short cuts or jerry rig....that's why I like to watch him..the right way or the highway should be his motto!!
9:51 "face it off just to make it look pretty", I literally LOL'd, and you delivered! I'll never have a lathe, so practically speaking, this content will never apply. But I too, like others, appreciate your attention to detail and quality of work. Well done!
Love your square steel stock collit Abom, in all my years I never actually seen or used one, love watching your videos also. Fate made me retire at 55, that was 17 years ago, after I started work at 15 years old and i worked almost everything a machine shop had it it, finishing up on a 5 axis machining centre.. But could still work anything "with handles on", the reason I love your videos.. Thank you.. Ian.. Coastal North Essex.. UK.
I'm not a machinist but love watching these videos. If you don't already you should teach classes or create some online material for purchase to pass on some of the vast amount of information in your head to the next generation. You make this all look so easy which is only done by a true expert and professional in whatever his/her respective field is.
Hey Adam, my Abom79 tee-shirt finally arrived with me in the UK today. The price of the shirt was okay, but shipping was more than the shirt. Then UK customs imposed sales tax, and Royal Mail charged me double the sales tax to administer the customs charge. All in all that shirt cost me around $60-$80. Still pleased with it, but will be keeping it for special occasions!
@@lemagreengreen Thats because the chinese habitually lie on the customs forms and the government don't seem to have the resources to do anything about it.
That was great. The Monarch is awesome. Lots of comments about how thick or thin the clutch material is and rivets being too close. I'm sure Adam knows what clutch wear looks like and how much life is left in what's there, and can see it much better than we can. To me, I see maybe .060" to .080" material above the rivets. If it took 60 years to wear half the material away, if that's even the case, then this thing is good for a while as-is. Clutches are not disc brake pads - they're not very thick even when they're new.
if my fathers was around today he would love this channel. master machinist at General Electrics base bulb plant for near 30 years, he could create anything. much appreciation abom
Great work Adam. In a throwaway society, where everybody wants to sit at a computer and futz around with solidworks, you are an honest-to-God craftsman.
Such an elegant but simple design from a time when things were made to last forever. That lathe is a beast! You have to live that feeling when you repair your tools yourself to make them good as new! Nice job
Hey Adam, newer subscriber here. I recommended your videos to my grandfather who was a machinist for 40+ years at a local ma and pa shop, he said watching your spray welding videos brings him back to good times. Thank you so much for explaining your knowledge and family life. I was given his tool box with a bunch of old mic’s and gauges that have helped me rebuild few small engines and such from the help of my grandpa. Watching your videos inspires me to have a fab shop in my own home one day.
@@colebz420 I'm not a machinist and do not own a lathe but I got my hands on one about the same size. Not Monarch but something from USSR. Needed to make plastic guide bushings for my competition air rifle, 6 of them. Minuscule things, 5mm (about 1/5") dia, 1mm (.039") thick base and 2mm (dia) x 1mm protrusion. Had to make my own cutting tool (out of a old file) because there was nothing small and sharp enough in the shop. Quite a experience and what a joy to hear them pop into their respective holes! Was aiming at 0.02mm (less than 1 thousanths) tolerance, guess I got them spot on.
Don't worry if Adam cant get parts for the good old kit, he will make it BETTER than factory, Thanks for showing us this found it very interesting. stay safe and keep well.
I am *so* glad you keep saying "kerosene" ! This is the correct fluid to use. It is a great solvent for thicker oils, lubricates well, and does NOT evaporate to an explosive mixture at room temperature.
Thanks for this nice and complete video. I do maintenance jobs on both new and old lathes. And now I know how to build up these old clutches. This is better than all the machine books we normally use.
disc material still needs replacement, there has to be a company that does it as truck repair is everywhere.. I do have to commend you like many others on here I'm sure. you have me fixing everything these days .. your a great teacher Adam
I think the lining replacement will be a task for the next generation of Monarch lovers. It's amazing just how long a well made machine tool will last if cared for.
As an apprentice maintenance engineer in 74, we had the same model lathe in our shop. I used it a lot for screwcutting, a great machine nice and solid, still had the war production board label on it from when it was shipped to the UK. I did notice as others have mentioned the torsion springs on the clutch spider linkages are out of place and those linings have seen better days.
It's friction material Adam, not anti friction, even though friction by and large is a bit of a dirty word in engineering. The friction is what transmits the drive from the motor to the headstock. Anyway, thanks for another great video, I have learnt a huge amount from you and consider it a privilege to be taught by such a gentleman as yourself. Stay safe, sir!
Good choice on the springs . Good job , well done . Looking at the " outside " face of the friction material , the brass rivet heads looked to be pretty close to the surface . Do not know how fast the friction material wears , but I think I would start researching a source of a replacement part of a shop that could resurface the friction material ( " reline " it ) . Watching you reassemble the clutch mechanism , it seemed like a jam nut in top of the outside nut might be a good precaution , to prevent it from loosening off . But when I saw you tighten the nut up against the next piece , it became clear that the nut was essentially a jam nut . Should have known it was fine . It has lasted , all these years , just as designed . Enjoyed the pair of videos , as always . Thanks , :-) God bless Wyr
It's great to see a really nice manual lathe being run and repaired with skill. I got my hand blown up with a half ass repair on a cnc lathe chuck actuator cylinder. I knew better. I lost big rushing to keep the spindle turning. My advice to others. Learn what you already know take the time to do it right.. Thanks for showing off lol... nice repair
Thank you for your excellent video Adam. I enjoy your work. I have a MacPherson 14" gap bed (Australian about 1963) that I am rebuilding. Have not been able to find a detailed manual ( apart from drawings & basic operation). Your clutch is the same basic set up as the MacPherson. This will help me get it back together. Much appreciate your help with my project. : )
What a beautifully built piece of machinery, its lucky it has someone like you (a top of the shelf machinist) to tend to it. Great job and thank you for letting all of us watch your incredible skills.
SuperAWaC He knows, going by their prices they are made using an Au/Pt alloy hand mined by 70 year old virgins but if you’re volunteering to pay I’m sure Adam would be delighted to accept.
I have no machining skills but sit and watch intently as you work/describe what you are doing, thanks for sharing your content is superb! luckily I have been able to go and watch earlier videos you have loaded.
It's amazing how much a 1/16th gap between two pieces of steel can determine if something can spin or not. The power of human imagination and engineering.
This video came at the perfect time. I just picked up a sidney from 1943 that the clutch wouldn't stay engaged. While they are different machines the clutches are very similar, this video showed me how to adjust the clutch. Thanks for the help!
What a beautiful old machine. I would have been scared to death to be drilling on the fly wheel not knowing if it would weaken it or maybe break it. Awesome job as always Adam. I'm sure your Grandpa and your dad are super proud of the machinist and person you are. Such a perfectionist in everything you do.
Watching this takes me back to the late 79's and replacing and adjusting the clutches on two Galion rollers that we had. It was always a pain to get the clutches adjusted just right after replacing the clutch pads. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Getting it done!! Nice repair ! Now needs the clutch material changed out asap also nice to see you taking care of machines the right way its already better then before !!thanks Adam!!!!
Excellent repair! Thanks for replacing all the worn keys, I hope you find somone to re-line the clutch material since the original looks a little crispy.
Hey Adam, something doesnt look right on those release springs. One looks out of wack or out of alignment, see 25:30 on video. Once again, excellent job on this rebuild. Never gets boring!
That old key fitted in that old hole like a hot dog down a hallway! - A saying that made me pmsl from Wes (Watch Wes Work) lol Also satisfying the way the new key 'pops' when you pull it out - that's what I call precision! Nice job Adam!
So _this_ is machining... New to the channel, not sure why it took this long for the RUclips algorithm to suggest this channel...definitely subscribing!
Very enjoyable and satisfying repair video. Thanks very much for sharing, your old man and gramps would be proud that you take such care with these old machines. Dave in RI
Being a service tech back in the day I use to rebuild brake shoes and clutch disc. Man I missed that. I could have replaced your disc also. I bet someone can do it. Great video Adam
you just need to replace the clutch pads and this lathe will be good as new :) I think it would be interesting to check the surfaces of the clutch back plates for surface defects and straightness, if they are not parallels with the clutch pad, it wouldn't be catastrophic, but you could have clutch engagement problems during the time of break-in of the new pads and uneven wear.
I have no interest in metalwork , machining..etc but I find myself watching this channel more and more? My daughter said he has the “Bob Ross effect “ 💡 needless to say I Subscribed ✌️
I love shots like the one at the end of the clutch working or the one from your previous video of the gears and how it interacts with the levers. I'm no metal worker, so it all looked like magic before. Now it all makes sense to me.
Little neodymium magnets at the bottom of those springs would help keep them in place the next time someone opens that for inspection. Love the attention to detail.
Nice having two lathes. One to make parts for the other. :) Really nice repair! One day someone else will crack that open and say “ These all look like original parts” “I don’t know what that wallowed out hole is for.”
Thanks, perfect timing. I'd done a quick adjustment on my MB22 clutch but hadn't looked too deeply at it. Thinking my springs may be week since it's slow to disengage.
My Kearney and Trecker 2h horizontal milling machine did the exact same thing for the exact same reason... I was able to get the correct springs from MCMaster Carr for the repair... Cheers: Mike in Louisiana
Ok. I’ve been watching your videos now for quite some time and just cannot get enough. For a hobby (well and some money of course) I build forced induction race engines of all varieties, but mainly for snowmobiles, sideXsides and high performance sand cars (a lot of Subaru, Honda 3.5s and of course GM small blocks) right now. After seeing this video of the cool little parts I could be making to help me with that and a million other things, it is finally time to buy a mill. I do have a 48”x48” cnc 3 axis router that I use mainly to cut parts from flat carbon fiber sheets I produce, but have zero experience with mills or lathes. I don’t want to spend an absolute fortune on my first one, but money really isn’t an issue (would like to keep it under 50k ish for the first one). Definitely would like a manual mill (I’ve seen some that are both lathe and mill?), but can see that the auto feeds and DRO is a must Most of the pieces I would make would be smaller than 24” long and maybe 12-16” tall. I certainly have been doing my research and will continue to do so, but any direction or places to start looking would be greatly appreciated. I am very technical and mechanical savvy so I understand all of this, but really no experience on anything other than the router which I use solid works to design my work. Thank you in advance, I truly appreciate anyone’s input they may have and are kind enough to offer. Hate to hijack the comments, but I thought with the talent here it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Keep up the good work Adam! Thanks again!
Excellent job Adam! I'm not a lathe pro at all but from my clutch and brake experience in everything from go-karts to semis and heavy equipment, please do the clutch lining soon my friend. Those plates are in nice shape, it'd be a real shame to see those rivets hit. Love your channel buddy, been watching for a while!
Adam, I would reccommend some Dri-Slide on your spider pivots. It penetrates well, drys up, and leaves MoS2 behind, wont sling off and contaminate clutch. We use it in snowmobile clutches that spin 14,000 rpm.

I'm wondering if the springs go through holes drilled in the pins to keep them from spinning?
Good eye, Luc! Yeah, that one spring doesn't look right. It's either broken or it slipped out of place. I didn't see any of the others like that one.
Rich
At 26:15 shows the spring unhooked
I see that.
That feeling when you need a second lathe to fix your lathe... and you have one.
Neil Barnwell can’t help smiling when that happens.

Little neodymium magnets at the bottom of those springs would help keep them in place the next time someone opens that for inspection. Love the attention to detail.
keep'em coming! I love this channel
Awesome job, sir. As always. Such a joy to watch your videos and constantly learn from them. Keep up the great work.
Always love the sound when a fit is so precise you hear the air suction.
Great demonstration as always, with everything explained and shown in detail.
I really enjoy your videos because you explain everything you are doing...and why. Two thumbs up !
6:16 engage safety squints!
Nice having two lathes. One to make parts for the other. :)
Really nice repair!
One day someone else will crack that open and say “ These all look like original parts”
“I don’t know what that wallowed out hole is for.”
Cripes. I don't know if I could carry on existing if I had to pare back down to only two lathes.
Thanks, perfect timing. I'd done a quick adjustment on my MB22 clutch but hadn't looked too deeply at it. Thinking my springs may be week since it's slow to disengage.
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
My Kearney and Trecker 2h horizontal milling machine did the exact same thing for the exact same reason... I was able to get the correct springs from MCMaster Carr for the repair... Cheers: Mike in Louisiana
is it my imagination or does it sound better too? That was fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
Well needed repair and You did it perfect. Agree with you about soon to come back and redo the clutch pad.
Ok. I’ve been watching your videos now for quite some time and just cannot get enough. For a hobby (well and some money of course) I build forced induction race engines of all varieties, but mainly for snowmobiles, sideXsides and high performance sand cars (a lot of Subaru, Honda 3.5s and of course GM small blocks) right now. After seeing this video of the cool little parts I could be making to help me with that and a million other things, it is finally time to buy a mill. I do have a 48”x48” cnc 3 axis router that I use mainly to cut parts from flat carbon fiber sheets I produce, but have zero experience with mills or lathes. I don’t want to spend an absolute fortune on my first one, but money really isn’t an issue (would like to keep it under 50k ish for the first one). Definitely would like a manual mill (I’ve seen some that are both lathe and mill?), but can see that the auto feeds and DRO is a must Most of the pieces I would make would be smaller than 24” long and maybe 12-16” tall. I certainly have been doing my research and will continue to do so, but any direction or places to start looking would be greatly appreciated. I am very technical and mechanical savvy so I understand all of this, but really no experience on anything other than the router which I use solid works to design my work. Thank you in advance, I truly appreciate anyone’s input they may have and are kind enough to offer. Hate to hijack the comments, but I thought with the talent here it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Keep up the good work Adam! Thanks again!
Excellent job Adam! I'm not a lathe pro at all but from my clutch and brake experience in everything from go-karts to semis and heavy equipment, please do the clutch lining soon my friend. Those plates are in nice shape, it'd be a real shame to see those rivets hit. Love your channel buddy, been watching for a while!
hey adam, again a great video about your work as an all-rounder. great work and even with a noise when pulling out the key. i like this :)
Your intro music always puts me in my happy place!
Adam, I know I will enjoy watching you work on the monarch, because I saw one yesterday
Adam: I can't see Monarch ever making a part like that!! Great video Adam, thank you:)
Adam, I would reccommend some Dri-Slide on your spider pivots. It penetrates well, drys up, and leaves MoS2 behind, wont sling off and contaminate clutch. We use it in snowmobile clutches that spin 14,000 rpm.
Giving the ol girl some love. Really enjoyed this.
I don’t always comment, but when I do, it’s to say, “Nicely done!”
