Monarch 16" Lathe Restoration: Feed Rod Bushings and Worm Gear

While restoring the apron on my Monarch 16" Model K metal lathe, I discovered that the bushings that guided the feed rod were worn and needed to be replaced. The old bushings were knocked out and the bronze bushings pressed out. New bronze bushings were machined on the metal lathe using an adjustable mandrel turned between centers and pressed back in place. We also installed the half nuts for threading on the lathe as well as the worm and worm gear.
