    Is it still possible to get good quality NEW basic manual tools (Drill Press, etc.)

    Hey Guys, I started a new job as a technician late last year. At this company we have a situation where we have a few REALLY good machine tools and nothing basic (except a little tiny WEN 8in drill press). We have a 5 axis CNC mill and a lathe that has more decimal points on its DRO display...

    Looking for Prototyping Shops in San Fran Bay Area

    I’ve been a PM member since 2004 and this forum has helped me out more times than I can count. I had a small optical/mechanical prototyping shop that I moved from Burbank, CA to Portland, ME in mid 2019. Then 2020 and SARS2 did me in. I closed shop in Dec 2021 and put everything in storage. In...

    Weight of Older Vs. Newer Hardinge HLV?

    I'm offering my HLV-H for sale. It is one of the last of the round-door machines, SN is just under 5000. Probably 1972 build. All features are the same as the newer version except for the smaller cabinet/tray and larger speed control box. I have seen in older documentation the weight quoted as...

    Independent Machine Mover South Bend / Elkhart IN Area?

    I'm moving my equipment from the NE to South Bend area where it will be stored. I have a Hardinge HLV-H in a Penske truck without a liftgate. It was loaded in at dock height. I may be able to unload the lathe on the moving company loading dock, but still need to get it to the storage unit which...

    Hardinge HLV-H Current Market Values?

    Anyone here that has recently purchased a HLV-H? I'm trying to determine what current values are for a good mechanical / good cosmetic condition HLV-H. I'd also be interested in knowing about any recent HLV-H EM sales although I know that version carries a big premium. Exactly how much is what...

    Schaublin W12 Compatible 100mm CNC Rotary Table with Controller

    This is one of my favorite tools, and I’ll probably regret this BUT… I am offering my custom Sherline Industrial Products 8700 CNC Rotary Table modified to accept Schaublin W12 shanks and collets. I did this modification so that I could hold work in chucks without the possibility of the chuck...

    Radius Turning Options

    Can anyone suggest accessory options for turning a concave radius into the side of a cylindrical part on a Hardinge HLV-H? I know Hardinge makes a dedicated accessory for this, but they are quite costly on the used market, and I'm sure the new price (if it is even listed) is a...

    Left Hand Thread on HLV-H

    Can a left-hand thread be cut on a HLV-H? It seems to me that it should be possible. I have searched and found nothing on that specific topic.

    Carbide Insert Threading Tools and Helix Angle for Manual Threading

    I'm about to get started with carbide insert threading tools. I'll be using the tool on my Hardinge HLV-H for manual single point thread cutting. I'm trying this out because I've been disappointed with the quality of brazed carbide threading tools (the ones coming out of CN these days are...

    Does Anyone Make a Decent ER32 Holder with a MT2 Shank?

    I have some applications where I need to use larger tools on my mill (a Wabeco F1200E). I KNOW that MT2 is small and that's the reason the ER holders for it are ER25 or smaller. I know my machine is small. I do not have funds for a larger machine at the moment and I have project where I need to...

    Schaublin Swiss Items W20, W25 Aciera, Habegger

    I have some Schaublin items that I have been jealously guarding for some time. I’ve decided that I’m willing to sell if I can get reasonable offers.

    Larger Companion to HLV-L (Manual Lathe)?

    I've owned my HLV-H for over 3 years now and it is the cornerstone of my very small one-man workshop. As much as I liked my Schaublin (plain turning 102N), the Hardinge is a huge leap in versatility with no compromise in accuracy. Sometimes I have to put off potential projects because they are...

    Help Identify Mystery Tool Bit "330 DET.2"

    I got this tool bit at a clearance section in a tool store many years ago. I still haven't figured out what it is or what it is meant for. It seems (to me) to have an unusual angle to the cutting edge. It seems to be solid carbide, and the shank is 5/16" square. On one side is etched 330 DET.2...
