Hello, to the info crew here on practical machinist.
Like the title says, I am looking at a few different machines to buy and wanted to know what to watch out for
(1) Hardinge Turret Lathe
Good:
it uses and comes with 4C collets
it comes with a few tool holders
it is (from my research on these) a DS59 or DV59 (not sure the model, as to why I am
posting)1946-1960 3 speed belt step pulley
Bad:
it is dirty with grime so difficult to see any mishaps or injuries to surfaces, however turret
revolves and engages into lock position
the pivoting collet closer holder on the end of headstock is broken where it pivots.. ? could
make new?
What do the fellow operators of this machine think about it? And what would you say to me to specifically look at when I return to its location for pick up.
Thanks to all who assist.
