What you are wanting is an old Ramco second ops lathe, or even a
Hardinge HSL.


Or an HC.

Did either of those models have 1-1/4" through the spindle capability?
The small Hardinge lathes that I've seen are all 1-5/32" max.

Some of the Ramco's did indeed. The HSL is a basic 5C spindle

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for a Ramco.

Also look for a "Wade" second ops lathe. Some of those were 16C, 1
5/8" or bigger
