Picked up a Trie trace hydraulic copy attachment over the weekend, looks as if it is in good condition. Model 0A
It has the Generic two bolt down arrangement.
Has anyone fitted one to a Hardinge HLVH?
I see two options for the tool post holder - front or rear mount. Front will need the hole underneath noted out and a hole made for the eccentric lock down bolt. Rear mount would just need two holes drilled and tapped - I don’t like drilling holes in vintage lathes!
I will need to modify the template bracket from v ways to the dovetail bed for the front mount, I could maybe use the taper attachment slot for rear mount.
If on the front I would need to demount all the time, rear I could leave it in place like Keith Fenner does, but I guess it would need to be protected from chips.
Looking forward to using it and seeing what it is capable of.
It would be good to know what someone else has done.
I have the full manual if any one needs a copy.
Also got a great deal on a surface grinder in great condition, but they are heavy for their size, had break it down to handle !
