Renovating a Hardinge HLV-H

[Lee Roberts]

This evening I cleaned and rebuilt the compound slide - compare before and after

WOW, this is coming along very nicly mate, i did look at your other post and wonder if you would be doing the tray as well. Makes sense while your there huh.

Is that really the same unit (compound slide) ? what did you use to get it up so well it looks so much better.

awaiting the next events....

Thanks Lee :)

There is a degree of madness in my method - I primed the tray last so as not to bash it about while preparing the head for spraying.

Mostly a soft wire brush, wd40 and a 'scotch-brite' buffing wheel from RDG plus the lashings of elbow grease. :)
