The new GSi series of lathes from Hardinge are based on using many of the same components and designs utilized on previously well proven Hardinge machine platforms we have either offered in the past or are currently producing today. By being very conscious to minimize costs, using existing designs, as well as leveraging suppliers on standardized components we have been able to create a very affordable, compact 2 axis lathe which still offers many of the higher end control features while not sacrificing machine rigidity, reliability and performance for this class of machine. We anticipate this machine will be well accepted and welcomed addition into the very competitive entry level shop, small to mid-size job shop and educational institution markets.

Main Features:

• Feature packed, industry leading FANUC control system
• Environmentally friendly automatic grease lubrication system
• Proven machine structure based on the existing Hardinge GS150 turning centers
• Compact footprint, smallest in class
• Full cast iron 45° base construction
