Does anyone know if it is possible to convert the HLV-H tool post slide to dual-dial HLV-H EM style? Is it possible to convert the tailstock as well? Has anyone done this successfully?
I do a lot of metric work. With the DRO it is not a problem to switch units. Having the ability to calibrate metric units on the tool post slide and tailstock would be a nice upgrade.
I'm well aware that Hardinge parts are costly. Once I determine if the conversion is possible and what parts are involved, I can add it all up and see if it is worth the cost.
Thanks!
