That looks like a *real* solid 9" lathe. The kind that would
eat a 9" SB model A for a snack. A small snack.

I looked at that one earlier this week, what a beautiful beast!
I don't think I have ever seen a Q.C. Box that would do a 2 tpi thread.
This is one 9" lathe that would test the limits of a piston type tool post.

Does nothing for me, I'm afraid.

3500 lbs of hassle, workshop-filling dimensions of a small truck,
yet only 9" x 22" of useful size ?

I ran one for a very short time a couple years ago. One hell of a
lathe.

That's one SOLID RIGID lathe. You need weight for that.

Hendy Lathes are wonderful to run. I have a 14 X 30 and use it all
the time. This machine origionally had a DC Thyratron tube drive. My
14 X 30 did too. After 40 years it was unreliable so it got a fresh
AC VFD and motor. You would have to be careful with this one. If it
has the old drive, you had better plan on replacing it.

Andy and all,

The 3500# estimate on the ad is probably slightly high, I'd look for
something more like 2600# to 2800#. Less than a ton-and-a-half. Lots
of big castings, but just not that big a piece.

Call the overall dimensions 7' x 2'. That's a pretty small truck.
Now, you've got to have working room around it, but a lathe can be put
against a wall, just give yourself enough room (2') to get back there
if you need to work on the gearbox.

Lastly, awesome performance. A pleasure to work with. We've got a
small Hendey in the maintenance shop and it is used a lot.

Anyway, your mileage may vary, etc. Somebody's going to buy a little
piece of history that cuts steel like nobody's business.

All the best.

Then I take it you would never want a Hardinge HLV-H?
This is not particularly big, about 5' long. Now tell you what..you
buy it for me, and Ill be tickled to ship you a nice Logan 10x31,
tooled with various bits and pieces. Its on a decent cabinet, and you
can put wheels under it and roll it around your shop. Straight across
swap? Got a deal? Afterall..you are getting a much bigger and lighter
lathe with the Logan.
:P

LOL. I strongly suspect that one could chuck up the
HLVH in that Hendy, and turn it down to a toothpick.
Granted the HLVHs are terrific machines, but they're
not real good at taking heavy cuts. That hendy otoh
looks just super solid. If I didn't already have
my 10L south bend, that would be the machine for me.

Not many of them around anymore in any decent condition. I have
one..flame hardened ways..with .006 taper per inch.

And how much does a Colchester weigh? G
