Rebuild a Classic!!!


Have your Hardinge DV/ DSM-59 hand screw lathe rebuilt to new machine "feel" and high quality appearance. Rebuilding process includes complete disassembly, hand scraping of gibs and ways, reground dovetail bedplate, new precision spindle bearings, drive belts and brake, professional high gloss paint, refitting to "like-new" tolerances, and much more.

Hardinge factory still has most parts available for this great production lathe.

Babin Machine Tool rebuilding customers are located throughout the country.

We love challenges every once in a while. Yikes!


I think the headstock switch was sticky. Yes, it was changed.


It looked good and ran excellent. Happy customer.



We can quote to rebuild only slides or turrets. We’ll travel for on-site repairs.

We also sell new import hand screw lathes with EVS spindle drives. Click here
