Title: My new old lathe.
Post by: bjinatj on November 04, 2009, 04:38:04 PM

I traded my Harley bobber for it, but I think it was a good trade. She is a lot better looking in person though. Somone in the past took the gearbox off of it. I just got it all backtogether and working (not shown in photo).


1968 Hardinge HLV-H

It'll vibrate less, so methinks a good deal .....  :clap:

I've always wondered what a Hardinge would be like to use, hopefully you'll be able to tell us in due coarse.

You'll love using it, I did when I got the chance.

WOT VIBRATION, if it is running right, you shouldn't be able to tell it is running by using feel alone.

Love the artwork

I was infected before coming here, now I can actually name it.

A year ago I traded off a Harley baskey case that I put together for a Bridgeport, when the opportunity for the Hardinge came up there was no way I could pass on it. The tooling alone that I received was worth the trade.
