Hardinge HC rebuild

[esbro]

i have a question based on your pictures. my turret has backlash in some stations, how can i adjust any backlash. adjustments or rebuild.

Hi, I have just sold my HC, but thanks for your question.
From what you ask, it seems that the backlash is located at the small pads on the turret.
If I remember correctly, these pads are adjustable by screwing them in or out. There may be a small grub screw to stop the pad from screwing itself out.
I would make the adjustment at mid-point on the turret-lock taper.
I hope this helps. .... Steve
