That’s in great condition! This was my lathe when I first got it, looks horrible but the ways and spindle are great

I love these little Hardinge lathes. Have you gotten to give it some love yet?

I’m working on making it perfect, I have removed all of the paint and filler since it clogs sandpaper really quick and new bondo won’t stick to it and I have 60% of the bondo ready to paint with 20% left to put on, slow work but it should look great, and some proof of it being dead nuts but it can’t compete with a 10EE

I lucked into this one cheap. It’s very complete and original. Even has the factory guard and backsplash.

Sweet. It will look fantastic when you get done. Well worth the effort.

That is a beauty. If I had the space I would have a second op lathe like that. What is that dovetail thingy mounted over the spindle?

Yep. Vertical cut off. Fantastic. This is a holder off an HC mounted to a DV slide Works great had to do a little surgery to get them matched up
