Siddarth Asrani Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hello, I am from Bangalore, India and in the process of re-building an old Heavy Duty lathe machine. I was wondering if i can get any information/help here. I have an operating manual for the machine, but that doesn't help me much. The machine i'm trying to re-condition is HMT L45 Lathe. Is there s thread/sub-forum here which is specifically related to http://www.hmtmachinetools.com/introduction.htm (HMT) machines? I hope this is the right forum i'm posting on. If not, please let me know and i'll move the topic accordingly. Any information will be great. I would also like to know if any spars (gears, shafts, spindles, etc) are available for these machines? If not here, is it possible that it's available anywhere on the internet? Thanks! - Sid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 HI Sid, As this site is primarily about forging metals and not machining I would start by looking at this link for the information you'r looking for. http://www.practicalmachinist.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 www.lathes.co.uk is one of the biggest lathe sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamptroll Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 From what I find on the net the HMT was made/built in India and the company is still in business. I would check with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
