Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Opinions wanted on Monarch VMC 45 with GE Fanuc 11 controls. Retrofit ?

Hi, i spent 3 years looking out a window to see two model "50" monarch's run
day in day out.(from inspection window to general shop area) One was
outfitted with twin rotary tables and one with pin plate for jigs. 50 is a
bit wider otherwise the same as 45. Going piece of machinery, these 2
displaced 2 larger K+T's with six axis control(so they could be used for
fancy stuff). They were seldom broke down but i know they needed constant
maintenence to stay in top shape. my IHMO cul brian f.
