I'd like to buy a Hardinge dividing head. I've noticed the spindles on some are threaded to accept a threaded chuck. Others accept a keyed chuck. I assume the internal taper for both is 5C?
For the keyed spindle, is the spindle and key unique to Hardinge? In other words, do you have to find a Hardinge keyed chuck to fit a Hardinge keyed spindle? I would assume the spindle is not anything particularly unique, but thought I would ask.
Also, for the threaded spindles, can someone tell me the pitch and diameter of the spindle?
