My son designed a product for pickup mounted campers and there are quite a few parts that need to be done on a CNC lathe. So we have been looking for a slant bed CNC lathe and I thought we were going to buy an EMCO 242 but it was not to be. So in my continuing search I ran across a Hardinge Conquest 42 that met our criteria. Pulled the trigger on it today. The truck is packed up and I'm ready to pull out to get it just as soon as I can lay my hands on the trailer I need, in the morning I hope.
Here is a picture of it, not much to look at. Hydraulic chuck/collet, 10 station turret, live tooling, tool holders. Per the seller, was working fine when pulled out of service a year ago. Confirmed that it powers up and runs.
The live tooling
And a shot of the turret
And a video of one just like it making a part
Now we just need to learn how to use it.
I'll keep you updated.
