    Hardinge vise repair - Maybe

    So, I got this little Hardinge vise for my BB2V mill - It was VERY cheap, but of course it was broken, exactly where many, if not most of them break. There was an attempted repair, poorly done, using epoxy putty. The break was stuck together, putting the little block & cap that the screw passes...

    Confusing tag on a big Monarch

    I saw this lathe for sale on FB Marketplace - I have no interest in it, as it's too big for me, but the seller posted a photo of the factory tag, and it brought up a question.

    BB2V Draw Bar

    I recently got a Hardinge BB2V mill, that came with collets, but no collet closer draw bar - Obviously, I need to make one. Does anyone have a draw bar they could measure? It would help me get started. I know the collets have a 7/16"x26 internal thread, but that's about all I know :~) Thanks.

    Hardinge Cataract Lathe - What Year ?

    I have a Hardinge Cataract BB57 lathe that I've had for some years, but only recently cleaned up and put back in use - It was missing the little cover plate that has the serial number, but I thought that maybe the experts here could ID the year of manufacture. The spindle is 5C, and the tail...
