开云体育Andrei, No, it’s a real NOS Hardinge HLV “Easy Reading” dial and ring with the original Handle shaft bushing removed and replaced with a turned down 10L dial as the shaft bushing. I haven’t bonded them together yet as I still need to fit the dial lock screw or lever through the 10L mount bushing. I’m going to try to fit the lock so I can try a thumb screw or a lever lock, to see which one I like best. Turk showed me one he converted many years ago, it’s not that difficult, once you find an affordable Hardinge dial. I think I paid 40 or 50 dollars for this one on eBay. I can’t bring myself to drill through the 170 mark on this pretty dial.:) Steve ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Andrei

Get From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Steve Wells <wswells@...> ? Mike, Photo of the ultimate 10L dial. 10L dial conversion, Hardinge HLV, 3-inch? “Easy Read”. Same principle, The HVL zero ring fits over the turned down 10L mount bushing. The 10L mount bushing is spot drilled through the HLV ring grub screw hole, when the HLV ring zero mark is aligned. The 10L 2.250 dial is turned down to fit inside the HLV’s dial. It retains the SBL mounting and adjustment system, the bearings and preload bushing. I don’t make these very often, but am in the process of doing one. Thought you might like to see it. The photo is of the parts for final steps of turning the mount bushing and fitting the bearing / dial clearance/ handle and polishing. ? Steve??? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of mike allen ? I knew that when I sent them in . What I was looking at is everyone says there gonna make large dials for their lathe . I only know of one guy that actually did it . I was lucky enough to buy one of the large dials for my 9A for 25 bucks a few years back . I can't say enough about how much easier it has made it for me to read the dial these days . Not sure I could even buy the material for a large dial project for the 30 something that this printed one goes for . There are several of the files available online for free DL to print large dials too , just gotta poke around . animal On 6/16/24 11:39 AM, Nick via groups.io wrote:
