I have just pushed the boat out, spent most of the children's inheritance, and bought a very nice Feeler lathe. Which is as far as I can see a Hardinge copy made in the far east , it has a very good write up in Lathes website and looks beautiful it is in fantastic condition having been rebuilt by Hardinge a few years ago.
I suspect lots of people use Hardinge but do many have Feelers? I have a maintenance manual but not an instruction manual. can any offer any pointers or advice?
