Default Hardinge HC problem

I brought that Hardinge HC home (the one that I advertised here) and
while it seems mostly complete, I seem to have a problem or a
misunderstanding.

The issue is that of speed control. It has a speed control with a
variable speed pulley.

When I powered the lathe, it would run. Then I started messing with
speed control handle and slowed the lathe down, which it did. The
speed was adjusting in ways that seemed odd, as in, possibly it was
increasing if I put that handle in center position. Then, as of now,
the speed control stopped moving that adjuster altogether. If I move
that speed control handle all the way to the left, the lathe just
stops. I cannot yet explain this weird behavior and I am sure that I
am missing something.

Since there are different versions of HC floating around, here's a
webpage with many pictures:

http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Hardinge-HC/

Also if anyone has a PDF manual of a Hardinge HC, I would love to get
a copy, and I will place it on my manuals website as well.

You are missing the most important pictures.

Open up the electrical cabinet and take clear photos of the inside.

There were at least 3 different wiring schemes over the years, for the
variable speed drive.

liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Default Hardinge HC problem

Gunner and Jon, thanks. I figured it out. The lathe was wired
incorrectly, so that forward became reverse. As a result, the speed
adjusting nut went the wrong way, hit a safety stop and stopped
operating due to that. I found an instruction sheet inside that told
me what to do (kill power to machine and manually back off the screw).

Now as far as I can tell, everything works great.

Default Hardinge HC problem

....
Notice the collets/bushings go inside of the 5/8" tool holder. First
thing you do is make up multiples of the common sizes, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4,
5/16, 7/16, 3/8, etc etc. Make up about 4 of each. Simple job using
any handy bar stock. Make up 50 blanks, undrilled, uncut. A job easily
done on the Chucker. Turn, face, knurl if you like, then cut off, then
go on to the next one. All from a bar. Helps you get to know your lathe
too.. As you need em, drill and bore em, then slot em, stamp em with
size and put em in a rack. Unless you are rich and want to buy a
complete set.



Instead of drill bushings, I use a Brookfield drill holder. Adjustable for
all size drills. I do have drill bushings for a few very common sizes.

Like all machines, you can easily spend more on tooling than you did on the
lathe.
