It is what I have & I know it fits the Hardinge turret lathe but what I'm not sure of is, Exactly how it works, can it be used in my manual lathe? Maybe something I can use in the quick change tool post I'm starting today? It seems to be worth a fair bit of money so maybe I should just sell it or trade it for something more useful?
What I "think" I know about it, it self feeds into the hole and releases at a preset depth. But do you have to reverse the lathe to back it out or just crank your carriage away? How to you adjust the depth you want to tap or is it fixed?
Thanks, Charley
