[QUOTE="Ians 17/22, post: 3987095, member: 51816"] just looked at the 2 Hardinges , 1 is a Chucker , looks like the spindle is a threaded nose for a chuck ,quick acting collet closer should take 5c collets , has a dovetail bed , threading is usually done with a die head , although many were supplyed with a FOX Thd'ing unit which followed a particular pitch brass or bronze template that was attached at the rear....(diffucult to explain) but thats how this mach threaded , pretty hard to find anything more accurate , the turret is a 6 or 8 position plate that sits on top , tooling for this is easy to make , see old hardinge catalogs....i'ev turned a couple of these into C.N.C's ....WOW parts were like jewlery ....at 1500 could never go wrong with this..... # 2 is an older split bed hand screw machine / turret lathe.....i was weaned on this machine , turret is 6 position looks like 5/8 holes , should also take 5c collets , front & rear cross slide , threading is done with a die head , a very fast machine to set up & do 1 -1000 pieces on it ....tooling also can be easily made....i would jump on these , even just cleaning them up should bring triple the asking price of 1000 bucks.... The versatility of both machines is uncompromised , those prices are very cheap plus comparing Hardinge machines with others is an absolute ridiculas state of mind..... That being said i'm not knocking the old South Bends (2 tumblers are a bit later models) the flat belt & Bronze bearings sure make for a vibration free machine.....certainly has its advantages.....but no where near the quality of any Hardinge.... Hope this vidio goes thru , i'm putting primer pockets into one of thousands of C.C.M. cartridges , machine is a later model Hardinge with dove-tail bed .... could do about 120 /hr.....of course primer pocket was 2nd operation after parts came off of B.&.S Auto Screw Machine....
