Re: Hardinge carriage

Jon,

I think you're right about the carriage. It looks like one off a
later model chucker. As I see it, it has very little value for
anyone other than to replace an older one without power cross feed.
Since it's also missing the turret, that really makes it
questionable. I'm not sure the older turrets will interchange.

When I retrofitted my chucker I sold the whole carriage w/turret for
$1000. I thought I'd won the lottery!!!!
