You could always try to see if they have any spares in stock, Hardinge Machine Tools Address: Silverton Road Marsh Barton Exeter Devon EX2 8NN United Kingdom Telephone: +44 1392 208181 Still being made but probably a little different now |

I would be a good second operation lathe where a part is started in one machine and tranfered to another to finish other than that it wouldn't do me any good either. I am sure there are collectors out ther that would pay a good buck for it. Then have him get something nice...Bob

It's a lathe, besides a chuck, a tailstock and a tool holder what other accessories do you need? real modern machine compared to my WW1 era shop lathe.

A fancy machine doesn't not make you a Machinist.

Threading would be a plus. My machines aren't fancy either just pratical. I can make about anything that comes thru the door. I wouldn't know how to run a real nice one...Bob
