Experience Excellence in Machining with Babin Machine Sales

We are a tool room lathe  manufacturer dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and service to our clients. Our Hardinge HLV-H clone lathes not just compliment our Hardinge rebuilding business, they became a replacement for many of our repeat and new customers. The need for high precision metal working lathes is higher then ever before in machine shops, fast prototyping environments, research and development labs around the country. Our competitive pricing combined with the unmatched qualification process guarantees a machine which you won't find at any other dealer and which  your machinists will love and appreciate for many years to come.


Every machine gets delivered to you from our Pennsylvania facility where we perform our extensive qualification process. This is unique in the industry, we utilize our 60+ years of Hardinge rebuilding experience and it involves checking, adjusting, fitting, hand scraping and aligning every part of the machine. That's what makes our lathes a Babin lathe. 

A Babin lathe is synonymous with great feel, quality, longevity and high precision, like a Hardinge.
