Hi,
I have an older Hardinge HLV-H toolroom lathe and have been looking for
a taper attachment and ran across this post. Did you ever get the
drawings done for this taper attachment? If so I would love to beg,
borrow or steal them from you. I have a factory manual and there are a
couple of drawings but the dimensions would be great. Thanks.

Sigh..no..actually I havent. I took some rough measurements once from
one of the few HLV-H taper attachments Ive seen..but never went
anywhere with it. I really really need to go back to that shop and
lay out the parts and take accurate measurements, some foot print
tracings and so forth. I just set my drafting table back up this past
weekend..so perhaps if I get some time in the next couple weeks..Ill
go visit the company again.
btw....Hardinge just discontinued the HLV-H. I dont know why..but
suspect that the Chinese clones at $8-12k ate into their sales badly

Is a Hardinge HLV-H lathe a special purpose lathe, or is it a good
candidate for
general home shop tasks?-
It is a good candidate.-
Nice understatement.-

For one thing, it doesn't look like the tailstock has any adjustment
for taper
turning...-
When you order the machine, purchase the taper attachment for it
at the same time. This solves the problem nicely.

Chuckle..indeed. Ive got access to a Hardinge taper attachment and am
in the process of blue printing it, so I can make one. They are not
commonly found without the machine. While they are absurdly simple in
construction, they are a bit critical in some dimensions. When I
finish, Ill post the drawings in the drop box, as the same taper
attachment works on the HLV-H as well as the TFB.
Which reminds me..Im thinking about selling my TFB. Needs paint.
Ive finally run into the situation where I have too many precision
lathes up and running well. Shrug.
At this point..only Thinking about it..
As for ordering an HLV-H..I think they are around $40,000 new at the
moment. A good used one is around $5-11,000, depending on tooling etc.
