Hardinge HC (1976) chucker rebuilt for
our CT customer. Newall DP900 DRO installed for .0001” resolution
on diameter with 99 tool offsets, 5 year warranty and much more.
Custom made stainless steel rear chip
and coolant guard has been fitted with rear lifting handles for easy
removal for cleaning.
We can also
retrofit your HC to a CNC/manual version or gang style CNC.
Hardinge headstock
immediately after painting. Comb anyone?
We use high gloss polyurethane paint
with a lot of elbow grease underneath. Optional metallic paint and custom
colors available. Non-painting option as well.
Typical tired “before”
chucker.
Sometimes we have to check
under the hood.
Almost ready for painting
now that three layers of paint have been removed.
Of course a high build
primer will be laid down first.
