I have no knowledge of any Hardinge models, other than the HLV-H, which I have. I believe that the latest models of this range changed over to screw-nosed mandrels - so it is quite possible that the chuck may be for one of these or for any of their more esoteric models. Sorry - this muddies the water, rather than helps with the chuck identification! Cheers!
