Hi Eric
I had an onset of madness a couple of years ago, and bought, sight unseen,
from a chap I did not know, a 38-year-old Hardiinge lathe! It was
fortunately a good buy, and despite its great age, displays little wear.
It was quite a learning curve to learn to use the beast. It is heavily
built, but has a top speed of 3,000 rpm! It is joy for screwcutting -
you can cut at speed up to a shoulder, and it STOPS. The handbook
suggests modestly, that you do not screwcut at more than 1,000rpm!
Cheers! Hubert
