Hi Brian wood I’m looking at your photo as I have a vertex HV6 brand new never been out the box til now & the winding handles missing, so will make one. Just can’t make out from your photo the handle & the washer that holds it on, it as slots in it I assume as the shaft is flat on either side with a 4 mm key placed in. Would you take a photo of the washer & handle on there own, with the collar separated away please.

Regards Rob

Thank you Pete, Al have you read this?

Regards RobPete Rimmer you say you had one like this, could you pull the grinding wheel toward you & it would spring back say a mm or two.

Tony as only parts manuals not Sevice manuals.

We rang Hardinge no answer Mark.

No answer 😕

we have two Joan & Shipman 540 surface grinders, the older one ( with a counter weight in the back) has an oil seal leake at the spnindle so we need to replace it. We have the gearbox drive case off the machine but no idea how we take the shaft out! Also how to adjust the end float! Please see photos below.

Thanks Howard.

Hi Trevor I thought it was an soba so thanks for putting me right, I need the turning handle can one buy them as a part? Do you think MSC or Chronos for best suppling the parts.

Thanks for the table Neil I’ve printed it off.

can you ID this rotary table I think it is an HV-6 but don’t know the make! & I need parts & I can according to the intruction book I can make it into a index table.

Ok thanks for the comment, I will buy some.

for fixing carbide tips onto tooling, do I need 35% or 55% silver content for best results?

This type, I find them very annoying😡

Inside the case when the brake unit has been removed. As you can see just a bearing inside a case, called in the manual as a bearing nut, above the belt pulley.

I got it off, a little heat from the heat gun & it just slides off. I will do a full video of the rebuild as nothing on utube for this mill.

Thats a good description, moped brake. I'm sure I have seen a head like this gate mill been worked on on utube or one of the forums but can't find it😕

No roll pin

Been told I need to remove a chamfered pin😮 Can't find it😕 Ordered a manual but as manuals go I won't hold my breath.

No that hole take the motor, the spindle is the hole just behind the brake lever,
