I unloaded my Hardinge HLV-H tool room lathe last night and got it
into my shop.

Next weekend, the Clausing 1500 will be delivered.

Now Im going out to power up the Hardinge and see if it actually
runs, (and clean off 20 yrs of crud ).

Getting either machine was a total and very unexpected surprise.

The cost? I simply dont bill a (small one man gundrill shop) customer
for labor anymore.

Networking, networking, networking.

Life is good.
