It doesn't have hand wheels per se, it has knurled knobs on both x and y. The moron photographer took a couple useless pic- gonna have to fire that guy! Hope this gives an idea of the vintage.

HSM has contacted me about a post, however I haven't gotten back to them as this isn't my machine and my brother in law can't rely on my computer when I can't be there regularly. If I decide to go ahead with purchase I would talk to Autodesk and see if there would be a solution until I could upgrade control.

Going to try and talk to old employer who uses current Hurco VMCs and see if his dealer has a decent used Hawk for sale. When I worked there they had a Hawk as well as the VMCs. He sold the Hawk a few years ago, don't know for what price but was a useful machine. The Hawks seem to be more robust and if the Ultimax software is functioning the mill would be useful as soon as it's powered up. Man I hate forks in the road!
