tour Hardinge

Hi,

It would help to know which Hardinge lathe you have : see http://www.lathes.co.uk/hardinge/index.html

There is more information about the change gears and brackets (banjo) on the Yahoo Hardinge lathe group site : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hardinge-Lathe/

Regards,

Bill

Hi Paqiut,

I see you have joined the Yahoo group

I believe you have a HLV-H

Hardinge parts are very expensive, especially out side of the USA!

I made a Metric bracket and spindles for my machine and use Myford Gears from RDG (http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/Myford_Everything_Else.html)

The Myford gears fit the Hardinge shafts perfectly and although slightly larger ( 20dp instead of 22dp) they fit into the gear case OK

Is your lathe metric (mm) or imperial (inch)?
