Vintage Hardinge Bros Lathe - Information wanted

ekb6760 · May 23, 2013

Just picked this up off of Craigslist. It's stamped on the crossfeed "Mfrd by Hardinge Bros Inc Chicago, USA" & "No 2862". Other than that, I have no information about it. Just wondering if anyone knows it's approximate date of manufacture, value, etc. Anything is appreciated. And yes, it will hold a cue shaft for tip & ferrule repair work.

Thanks for looking,

Kevin

Hardinge is still in business. They make good lathes, I worked with several different models when I was machinist but nothing as old as you have. Thats probably WWII era..

Go to practicalmachinist.com Someone over there should be able to help you out.

Hardinge goes back to early 1900's and this is pretty early lathe.

Here's the rest of the story.
