Hi,
I have some custom work holding requirements for repeat jobs planned for my taper nose HLV-H. I know Hardinge supply a range of what they call "fixture plates" but I am looking for:
1. 2-4" max bore depth stock on it. I am wondering if they (or someone else) supply taper nose locking blanks? E.g. a cylindrical block with the No5 taper nose part pre-machined into one end?
2. minimise over hang from the spindle.
In addition do they supply extra depth blanks (no 3 way split) 5C step chucks in customs dimensions for more bore depth? I would need 2-4" bore capacity. Although that is not ideal for minimising the over hang.
Hardinge in the UK are not what they were even a few years ago for customer support and if I have to get on the phone with the folks in the USA I'd like to keep the call time to a minimum so any up front advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
