Where are you based?

I run two of these daily in the UK. They're very good production machines, both of mine are barfeed and like churning out parts as long as you keep an eye on the swarf build up on the slide cover.

You are looking at a Hardinge Conquest GT27. The CE means it came with the European standard interlocks and safety features. I was pretty sure the manuals were available from Hardinge, and I had seen copies on eBay before, but there are a few differences to the non-CE machines.

Thanks Andy much appreciated (Conquest GT27 Got ya)

I am based in Northern Ireland and have just started to research the machines we have to get as much information as i can for the lads running them.
Dont get me weong these guys are doing a great job but the more information i have for them the better,
there is no way i could write code the way these guys can , I am running a 6090 CHina CNC at home which is a totaly diffrent dragon
If you have any pointers that would be very much appreciated

Kind Regards Tom
