Chucker not Toolroom Lathe
That close, huh
Never seen a HC with a solid carriage handwheel. I wonder what's up with that?

Really???


Rex

Didnt say .01 what

Apparently "light restoration" is a cleaning and repaint. I feel the price is a tad high - close to $5000 too high. I paid $450 for mine, cleaned it, replaced the two belts, added, vfd, and received a like new 3 jaw chuck, full drawer of collets, a Kalamazoo collet chuck, and assorted tooling. In addition, mine came with all original parts. I have about $775 total in mine and I know it runs nicely. BTW- mine even holds tolerances better than this one being offered for sale!

The folks on this forum know machines and will not even look twice at this item. See if Mike Kandu is interested.

Have you actually priced one of these things? They dont even bring bids at auction anymore, they are nice lathes but they are worth less than 1000 dollars in great shape, and that is fully tooled. I work with a machinery dealer and we have several that have sat for more than a decade, he is asking 1500 dollars and no one wants them.

Ya, wonderful machines and fun to run but limited functionality equals a pretty thin market

A friend just bought one a couple of months ago, fully tooled, chucks, collets and including the threading attachment with about a dozen or so guides. Paid less then 2k, delivered. He gets a fair amount of use from it doing short run production. Nice machine if you have a need.

1. HC chucker is not a "toolroom lathe"
2. Your's does not even remotely look "better than new"...actually devalued a bit by the repaint, not to mention strange color choices.
3. You don't have the semi auto threading attachment, very little tooling
4. Further to the "better than new" comment, obvious from faded/dinged up nameplates, dull/dark iron on turret and other surfaces and Chinese handwheel* on carriage feed this is a highly suspect "light restoration".

If you started that on eBay with same pictures and description at 99 cents/no reserve and you had at least 200 prior sales with 100 percent feedback, I'd be shocked if bids topped $700.

*Bet you thought no one would notice that, huh ?

I presume kpotter is thinking in terms of what he can best relate to...old dirty worn machine tools. In reality, a really nice clean late model Hardinge HC chucker with threading attachment and lots of tooling will still bring decent money at auctions... $5,000 in fact would not be out of the question.

But this one is far from that, thus well under $1K more realistic. To be fair, the old dirty worn ones do tend to turn up more often at auctions than the nice ones, so in that sense I can see making a sweeping generalization I suppose.

Price is relative, I 'spose...I'm not one to judge, so I removed my comments.

It always seems the folks that participate the least are the ones selling machines at astronomical prices. Maybe that is just the nature of the beast.

Reminds me of a used machinery dealer I know. His thoughts of "excellent condition" are not the same as my thoughts of the term!!
