You might have a different (administrators) view of the thread/subforum than the rest of us mortals! I can't see your comment anywhere in that page.
The title was a bit limited, but the thread was interesting.

I didn't even think of it at the time I was searching, but Hardinge did have some lathes of their own with D1, so, yeah they must have existed, just as the Monarch ones do.Hi,
It is a shame it was locked because I was trying to make a reply to it. I can see from your picture that there would be a touch more overhang from the bearings with this option than the taper noes or threaded nose versions.
Based on my own research via the internet and with speaking directly with hardinge back in 2015 it has to be one of the lathes equipped with the optional D1-3 camlock spindle nose. I tried to source one for my own rebuild. Not possible from Hardinge in Europe as they had no idea this option ever existed and couldn't be bothered or wouldn't arrange it via the US office for me. I then gave up and had my taper nose spindle nose repaired via a hard chrome and regrind. Luckily I got some assistance to get back plates via a most helpful member of this forum.
I suspect there would have been D1-3 mount closers for the step chucks. Do you have any?
"spindle?" or "closer?" AFAIK, pre-metric conversion, UK, no diff. Post-metric conversion the DIN or ISO spec on a D1 is dimensionally the same as the US spec, so D1 goods should interchange, regardless of which nomenclature is used. More especially with so many of the backplates coming out of neither - eg: Asia.Does anyone know if the USA and UK made spindles were different?
Been doing that for a long time.
I knew I'd take crap for this and it doesn't really bother me from some. But others that don't know me, why don't you volunteer to take over? If you don't like what I've done, ask Don to replace me or change his rules.
I'll even leave this unlocked to see how many more want to complain.

Folk as don't bitch about Moderators are plotting against the government. Part of the job. Nothing personal about it - EITHER direction. Don't take it so. Don't make it so.
Since we are discussing the original post again, could the lathe be a HLV and not a HLV-H? The bed seems a little narrow compared to the spindle nose cap. Maybe camera prospective?
It has been too many years since I have even seen a cam lock spindle and I have never taken one apart. Maybe one of you can give the OP a hint on how to remove one of the good cams. That may reveal clues on how to get the broken one out.

This thread is technically interesting and should not have been locked.
