Great condition working QUORN precision tool grinder. Comes as pictured with collets, several grinding wheels, etc. This unit is permanently leveled by being uniquely mounted on a very sturdy steel channel. Prefer local pick-up as it's very heavy to ship.

Unless your job calls for carbide tooling, due to speed of completion, hardness, etc., why not just use good old tool steel shaped according to basic principles? Tool steel cuts great and leaves a wonderful finish on most materials. Just my 2 cents worth. Best, Mike DiGirolamo...

Hardinge HLV-H lathe. Gently used. Plug-n-play; includes VFD and Cutoff Switch. Supply 240VAC single phase and it's running. Machine is very tight, negligible backlash on all dials. Taper attachment, steady rest, follower rest, 3-Jaw chuck, 60+ assorted collets, etc., etc. See the accessories...

Is it still for sale? Contact me at [email protected]

Looking for either Hardinge or Aloris (AXA) Tool post and holders. Used okay. What have you? Thanks, Mike DiGirolamo Charlottesville, VA

I just wish that someone would provide me some contact information for this seller. I would dearly love to own this machine but, despite several requests, no one has given me any contact information. The email that was supplied, both corrected and original were used by me to supposedly contact...

Doesn't look like you'll be needing to purchase any accessories for a long time. Great find, great deal. Enjoy it with God's blessings, Mike

Hi Don, Thanks for your input. All the motors running equipment in my hobby shop are 2 HP or less. Your input is greatly appreciated. Best, Mike

Prior to initially posting this thread, I also could not find anything. However, after some responses, I have discovered they are available in the USA. Check this site, Gillette Portable 3-Phase Generator - GPE-75EH-3-3 | Absolute Generators Mike

My interest in a portable three phase generator is for testing and a temporary supply of power for newly acquired machines. Then I set them up with VFD's. I use a VFD to power my Hardinge lathe and another one to power my Rockwell horizontal mill. The portability is helpful when going to a...

Wow, that's great! Currently there are no real deals on "the bay place" here in the USA. BUT, I'll keep an eye out. Wish I knew how to PM you as I'd like to ask you a rather personal question regarding your "bay site" experience. Best, Mike

In my case, 6 KW would be fine. From another group, I've been referred to this URL: Gillette Portable 3-Phase Generator - GPE-75EH-3-3 | Absolute Generators I've filed it for the future. Thanks for your reply. Best, Mike

Hi Larry, Thanks for your reply. I have several VFD's driving machines in my shop. However, I have often thought how nice it would be to have a three phase gas-driven generatior that could used to check the machine out in advance of receiving the VFD. I've never seen one, though. I'll bet...

Has anyone seen a small THREE PHASE portable power generator? I remember waaaay back, while in the USAF, seeing those HUGE generators on wheels, but I'm talking about a smaller one, 120V, 240V and/or 480V, 3PH, 60 Hz, that could be used to power up small 3 phase machines?
