In article pMQYc.3473$bD5.3005@trnddc03, rick says...

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.

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.
