Hi everyone,
I've been working on getting a 1941 hardinge TM up and running. It's all original, including the original drawbar. My question is: how was the drawbar designed to be tightened? It looks like a handwheel, but I don't think I can get it tight enough by hand. I can get a large spanner wrench around it and into the grooves - is that what was intended?
Also - is it ok to tighten it against the spindle lock? Or is another pin wrench required for the back end of the spindle? There are two holes at 180 degrees on the back of my spindle.
Thanks,
Lee
