Elgin lathe collet closer – looking for part

Posted on 20210521 by Anthony

I met a fellow who bought my turret and he sold me the main parts of a rare collet closer for my Elgin hardinge lathe

He was kind enough to make a drawing of one of the parts needed to make it close. The drawing is for a similar part so it can’t be created from the drawing.

If you have the part I need, I’d love a scale sketch!

Thanks Tom

lathe tooling – used is best

A great Lathe score includes hand ground tools. This is where someone hand grinds a shape or a pattern to accomplish a very fine detail for a feature.

Hardinge Lathe 204 frame Motor

Posted on 20191016 by Anthony

Looking to replace the 204 frame motor I watched my favorite teach on the subject

and that pointed me to the plate on the motor I have

Reading deeper into this, this is an OLD style of motor frame. 204 Stopped being used in 1953… Of course, mine is a discontinued motor frame…

Looking more at this I see the 203 and the 204 frames are similar it’s the screw mounting width that is different. I think an adapter plate could work. The only dimension that matter is D and U. U is 3/4″ so the center of the motor must be 5″ from the bottom of the plate. Obviously P must be smaller or equal. Watch out for the boxes that stick off the side for the wiring to enter.
