Hardinge on CL

Take a look at this little beauty:

Hardinge Production Lathe

Old American made precision production lathe. If you know what you are looking at, you know this is a great machine! Comes with the four attachments shown: Speed Slide Six position turret Compound...

I'm tempted... But how can I justify a third lathe? Maybe I need to go into rehab.

She is a beauty. They don't take up much space.
You can find room.

Not too far from you. Leave the dark and drive up and buy it out from under me. It will relieve the pressure I'm feeling.

If only it was a couple thousand miles closer!

We are a forum of enablers, and proud of it.

It's a turret lathe, no chasing threads, no feed. I use a turret lathe all the time, but unless you have use for that type of production, (and that's what it's good at, production) you won't be using it hardly at all.

Yup, devil is in the details.

Yup, that's a second operation lathe. Nice but not really useful for a hobby guy.

Yeah I keep seeing CL ads placed here for lathes that leave out the key word "turret."
