Just a warning about shipping these. I have several of them and have more experience than I wanted at repairing them after they were damaged in shipping.
The crank handles get bent out of shape and that usually leads to the ends of the feed screws breaking off. So don't put it in a large flat rate box with bubble wrap and hope it survives. Remove the two cranks and use solid wood blocks and plywood to keep the slide rest positioned away from the sides of the box. Protect the ends of the feed screws.
I will pay $450 plus shipping and insurance if the shipping is by large flat rate with appropriate packing with $500 insurance. I do not want any more repair experience.

Gentlemen, sorry for the confusion and having a full mail box. Mail box is cleared now.
In the interest of full disclosure I answered L Vanice's PM based on Roberbolts post by mistake. This was clearly my mistake so $400 + shipping is the price If either of you are still interested let me know.

Yer a mensch.
Couldn't be more fair than to divide it equally and not even charge for the coldsaw work..
Aww man, more questions than answers... Cut it accross or lengthwise?
"West Elmira" Indiana.....But mainly because he has three of everything Hardinge ever made, and half of each of several things they disowned - or simply forgot they ever made, already! Might even already have the matching half to a cold-sawed slide?
Long-axis of travel, of course.
No no no.
You give one person the cross-slide parts, and the other person the longitudinal slide parts. They separate
quite neatly.
Interestingly my kid is moving to indiana. Might be a chance to get closer to the mother load of hardinge stuff.....

I've successfully mailed several of these (I think even one to Larry).
I use dense foam that they use for shipping large servers. It's a lot denser than your typical foam rubber. I cut it to shape so that the foam is basically a block the size of the flat-rate box with a void inside the shape of the slide rest. Handles are all removed.
Never had a problem.

Even more useless (can you comparative an absolute?) are Styrofoam or blown cornstarch peanuts. I don't know why people even bother with that stuff when shipping chunks of steel or cast iron. They are useful only for stuff that's not much denser than the peanuts themselves.Soft foam rubber is useless for packing heavy stuff.
