    Minimum charge.

    I think the tax exempt idea is the way to go. Polite and it should eliminate 90% of the bs.

    Minimum charge.

    Just curious how some are handling walk ins and small jobs. There is no job to small for my established customers but it seems like I always have a small project on the books that we don't have time to get to for someone trying to launch a new product or startup. I am thinking of implementing a...

    Bar bulling on Hardinge g27 w/fanuc 18t.

    This was the issue and I saw that and pointed it out but he did not fix it. We have an underlying issue where the machine will not take cycle start. I am almost certain it is a code issue because only some programs do it. MDI has also never worked. We are doing something wrong. Fanuc...

    Bar bulling on Hardinge g27 w/fanuc 18t.

    I looked through the manual. I do not see any references to that or similar.

    Bar bulling on Hardinge g27 w/fanuc 18t.

    We tried this. The manual notes that. It does say the spindle can be running for bar feeding but we tried it both ways and it auto mode. It feeds the puller onto the part and then sits like it is waiting for the collet to open. No alarms. I don't know why it would be an option to...

    Bar bulling on Hardinge g27 w/fanuc 18t.

    We cannot get our lathe to respond to M21/22 to do a bar pull cycle. It just sits like it is waiting. M10/11 alarm out as invalid code. The m21/22 is right from the manual. It will also not work in MDI. This is an early to mid 90s machine. Let me know if you have any ideas.

    Hardinge GT 27 will not take M08?

    We finally got the old GT-27 ready to run but M08 will not work. In MDI it ignores it. In our program if it is there the spindle does not come on but the program still begins to run. The program runs fine without the M08. I don't see any special M codes in the manual What are we...

    Pay Rates for employees. New to Expert.

    I have a small shop in Central Fl and a lot has to do with location. None of my guys have any interest in driving into Orlando every day to deal with that mess. I expect I will have to pay $25 per hour for my next hire. My operators start at $14-16 One thing I have done is really try to run...

    GT 27 MDI or cycle start not working

    Been working on getting this new old machine up and running. It is a mid 90s Hardinge Conquest GT27 with Fanuc 18t. More than likely I ma doing something wrong. Machine is referenced and there are no alarms. Air and way oil are good. I can hit the jog spindle button and it will rotate the...

    Hardinge GT 27 door verification.

    Its about that age. Mid 90s. I pulled that little arm off and flipped over so I could actuate it by hand and it still does not respond. Do I need to pull up on the e stop while hitting the e stop reset or just release it? That may be my hold up.

    Hardinge GT 27 door verification.

    Hi. We picked up an older GT 27 at auction. I cannot get past the door verification alarm. I am not sure if someone messed with it or if it just broken but even flipping the lever by hand does not work. Am I missing something or is there a way around it to at least make sure the machine...
