I am selling a second operation Harindge Lathe from WWII. It was used in Remington Rand's plant to manufacture parts for 1911s. The contract for this work done by Remington Rand is on the riveted tag that reads U.S. Nord (F) 1061 NM-740.

It is fully functioning at this time. It is connected to a inverter (VFD). It runs on 230V single phase power. All orginal collets are included. Collets go up to 1-1/8".

The lathe is a model TR-59 and, as you said, it was built from 1940 to 1945. However, that slide rest was first built in 1946, so it is an improved model, a replacement for the original. Hardinge called such replacements "mail order" parts because they were up to date improved parts sold for machines that were no longer built.

The serial number on the back of the headstock might reveal the exact year it was built if it has 59-five digits. The picture is my lathe, built in late 1944.
