but Q? Does anyone know what
a Hardinge HLV quick change tool
post looks like? They have a side
and a front dovetail and the locking
elements is in the corner, and will
lock a toolholder in either position.
It is a tee nut of sorts, tightened
by a draw screw, diagonally through
the body of the tool post. Much like
the pictured above, but diagonally.
It is super simple, with just 2 moving
parts basically. It is just a bit smaller
than the AXA size. I wonder why
no one copies the Hardinge tool
post design? Some copyright issue?
Surely it has expired years ago.
I am half tempted to measure it up
and draw it in Solidworks and post
it here, if there is no legal issue
to do so. What do you all think ? ? ?
