Hardinge TFB-H Super-Precision Toolroom Lathe | 11" x 18" | HLV-H Bed | Tooling Pkg

Hardinge TFB-H Super-Precision Toolroom Lathe

The Hardinge TFB-H (Turning, Facing, and Boring) is the high-performance production sibling to the legendary HLV-H. Built on the same ultra-rigid chassis, this "Super-Precision" machine is engineered for high-accuracy applications where threading is not required. By removing the threading gearbox, Hardinge created a streamlined, robust powerhouse that maintains the tightest tolerances in the industry.

Whether for a dedicated toolroom or high-precision second-operation work, the TFB-H offers the "feel" and repeatability that has made Hardinge the gold standard for over half a century.

Machine Highlights

• Precision Foundation: Built on the famous HLV-H hardened and ground dovetail bed for maximum rigidity.
• Infinite Variable Speeds: Adjust spindle speeds from 125 to 3,000 RPM on the fly for the perfect surface finish.
• Independent Electric Feeds: Separate variable feed control for the carriage and cross slide allows for instant adjustments during the cut.
• Teflon Bearing Surfaces: Used between the carriage and bed to eliminate "stick-slip" for fine-increment moves.

Comprehensive Tooling & Accessories Package

This machine is offered as a "turn-key" solution, including a robust suite of essential precision tooling:

The Primary Package:

• 5C Lever-Type Collet Closer: The hallmark of the Hardinge system for rapid part loading.
• Complete 5C Collet Set: Range of sizes for immediate production capability.
• Quick-Change Tool Post: Aloris-style post including Turning, Facing, and Boring holders.
