However, both were built to the same very exacting specification and standards and not down to a price. Although the original model HLV closely resembled the later HLV-H - and had an almost identical carriage assembly and tailstock - its bed of the former was appreciable narrower and the spindle speeds varied by a hand-turned dial instead of a push-button controlled electric motor. Although no longer manufactured, - the last examples might have been made in 2015 (at a cost of around US$60,000) - several copies are still made in Taiwan. Easily outselling its British competitor, the Cromwell, this carefully designed and wonderfully executed lathe has proved to be a true classic. One outstanding model was the superb "narrow-bed" Model HLV, this being made from the late 1940s until around 1959 when it was replaced by the improved HLV-H.īuilt in both the United Kingdom (where it appears to have also been badged as the Type KL-1) and the U.S.A., the HLV was an immediate success - and purchased in considerable numbers for use in toolrooms, university and Government research facilities as well as companies involved in precision engineering. The steady development and improvement of the fabulous Cataract bench and screwcutting lathes of pre-World War Two set the scene for a post-war range that included several special-purpose production lathes including a special lathe for optical work and a number of them based on the beautiful DV-59 plain-turning precision bench lathe. With origins going back to 1890, the American Hardinge Company have long enjoyed a reputation for high-class engineering and have always been associated with the production of finely-built machine tools.
