I have a Monarch 10EE and a Clausing 6913 in 14X48. The Monarch is wonderful but not easily adapted to barrel work. The Clausing is a variable speed machine. I have a couple or 5 friends that have Heavy 10 Southbends. I run from them. Yeah I know that a lot of folks make them work, but not me. I have used a couple Grizzlies and they really impressed me. If I had one I would install a VFD for better control of the spindle speed. Problem with them is the D1-5 AND D1-6 chucks. Way too big and heavy! Yeah, thirty years ago I was into weight lifting, but no more.
