1984 Hardinge HLV-H Tool Room Precision Lathe

This machine was purchased new by IBM in the mid 80’s and was used in a lab environment in Boulder, CO. The machine was sold in the late 90’s and has been sitting ever since. This is a late model lathe that has many desirable features such as a Sony DRO, hardened and ground cross slide way inserts, teflon carriage coating, 7″ wide flame hardened & ground lathe bed, Hardinge 4 degree taper lock spindle and much more.

This is the rare english/metric version of this machine and so it will do metric threading in addition to all the dials having metric and english graduations on them. The DRO toggles between english and metric as well.

This is a clean machine and the paint is all original. Not only does it look nice everything on this machine is functioning 100%. The way wipers are brand new and the bed plate is in great condition. This machine is under power and can be run and tested on site. The spindle is whisper quiet even at the full speed of 3000 RPM. The gearbox shifts easily and functions as it should. The DC motor power feed works well and all apron clutches function as they should. Included with this machine is a set of english and metric Hardinge brand collets that are like new. Also included is a set of import 5C hex and square collets with stand. Has a 3 jaw chuck and Aloris AXA tool post. The factory coolant guard is included but it does need to be worked on a bit.

1987 Hardinge HLV-H Tool Room Precision Lathe

This machine was purchased from the original owner who bought it new in 1987. He was a watch maker who used this in his personal shop. As the pictures show this machine is like new in every way and has minimal use. The way wipers dried up and cracked like they all do so they have been replaced with new.

A rebuilt HLV-H from Iverson & Co. will cost you 60K and something from Babin or Cavco will be $40K plus donor lathe. This lathe is available for immediate shipment and is as accurate as a new machine.

Lathe is 208V and comes with an assortment of collets and manuals. I will ship this freight, please ask for a quote. I can crate this machine and can deliver within the midwest so please ask for a quote.

Thanks for looking!
