There are various sizes, and each size has a suggested size of lathe.
What size is your lathe?
This model isn't "Holdridge style", but the cost is much less, and some assembly is required:

That can be done by the smallest Holdridge, which is good to 3".

I've got a Holdridge 3S that I think is complete. PM me your email and I'll send you some pics. I need to check on shipping.

There is another Holdridge unit that employs a worm gearbox to move the cutter.
Which gets me to thinking.....
If the specific task would allow it, I suspect a smallish rotary table could take the place of a compound slide. Perhaps some holes may need to be drilled and tapped (somewhere), perhaps an extension shaft for the handwheel would be needed, and perhaps the operator would need to be gentle.
Just a thought...

P.M Sent thank you
I've got what I think is the largest Holdridge radii cutting mechanism, along with the motor which turns it. I think it is either the 8 or 12d. Without looking I am guessing at the model number. I bought it used about 10 years ago and I never used it.
I'd take $1200 plus shipping for the set. Comes in two wooden cases.

I don't know how much research you've done, but Holdridge cutters typically go for more than $500 used.

Maybe.... The included brazed carbide cutters are about the only thing that wears, otherwise they don't wear out. The drive motor is a chunk of bux... And no Mine is not for sale...

$1200 for what was offered is (at least to me) an impulse purchasing price, IF the bits and bobs were to be regulary put to use.
If it was simply a trophy for the kids to sell at the inevitable estate sale, there are better ways to spend money.
$2600 for the 12D, plus $2000 for the motor drive.

I'd love to have a drive motor too,but as little as I'd ever use it,I wouldn't pay a lot for one.
I DO have a brand new variable speed motor for driving Suburban punch grinding units(motor is also Suburban). I don't know why they cost a fortune either,but I'd trade it on a Holdridge motor unit.
