Hi: I'm looking into getting a lathe, as small as possible, but that will take 5C collets in the same way as the Hardinge, i.e. with the collet closing lever...
Enco and several others import a china version of the HLV, but it is still around 10 grand at least. For 5C in the spindle you need a 1-3/8" spindle bore for...

Ken You might want to evaluate what your needs are down the line. For instance as far as turret tooling goes there have been a large selection made, I have one...
Hi JWE & Ken: Thanks, I see it's out of my price range to get a big lathe and too difficult to try and find a used one. What about using the 5C collet holder,...
Hi again: While surfing the Enco web pages I came across the "Turn-Pro Second Operation Lathe" that sure looks like the Hardinge including the turret and lever...

Hi: I'm starting to like the Grizzly G0516 but neither Grizzly nor Little Machine Shop knows what the spindle threads are. I'm 99% sure this is a Seig C6, but...
Hi Brooke, The lathe uses a flange to attache the chucks. Also, both the lathe and the mill have a MT 3 taper. Take a look at the manuals on the Grizzly site...
Looking at the parts manual online, it's like the other Chinese lathes. No threads on the spindle, strictly bolt on! Use a collet adapter for a #3 Morse taper?...
