I just got gifted to me hardinge lathe pretty strip down it only has the rectangular slide that fits right up by the head stuck and two tip slides. And a small three jaw chuck. The collet closer is in really good shape and the bed has never ever ever ever been used at all it was covered up it's whole life. Everything needs a good cleaning but other than that it's all in really good shape all the wiring is in really nice shape all of those relays seem to trip good on the cams from what I could see everything smooth. I have a lot of learning to do I don't know a damn thing about this machine I know it does and what it doesn't do but I'm going to have a hell of a time getting it up and running even.
One of my big question is should I get a standard phase converter old style or one of these new vfd?
It's not like I'm going to want to do wildly variable things I'm going to be making small parts on it once I get it up and running and then I'm going to see about collecting some of the attachments if I can get them hit rebuildable condition.
Another question is this thing thing has a externally mounted Transformer that's about 3 foot high on the outside I'm wondering if they step down from 480 to 240 3 phase the tag on the transformer is missing I guess I'll have to get the multimeter out lol
You guys always give me good advice so I figured I'd post it here
Any input would be greatly appreciated
