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.

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 .

Bear in mind that these are not OEM large dials, or even replacement dials. They're 3d-printed dials that FIT OVER the OEM SMALL dials. Still, not a bad deal, I'll bookmark that seller for later.
