I just bought a hardinge HNC cnc with a ge 550 controller for a song locally. It all works, and came with the optional cutoff slide. It's REALLY clean and looks like it wasnt used much at all. I make and sell my own product, so this is perfect for what i need to do. Can anyone tell me anything about this machine? It has all the books with it, but doesnt say much about uploading programs from an external source. Looks like it has an rs232 port on it, so i was hoping to upload my programs from mastercam. Is the cutoff slide an/or part chute worth anything if i were to sell them? I cant see myself ever using it, especially for my parts. Also, what does this thing weigh? I'm taking the controller seperately, so all i really need to know is the actual machine weight. I couldnt find it via search or in my books.
attached is a few pictures, sorry they're so small.
Thanks,
Dan
