How much does the Hardinge Bridgeport V710 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class — not a quote from Hardinge. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Bridgeport V710 is a 40-taper vertical machining center with 710 mm of X travel, 15.74 in (400 mm) of Y and 16.9 in (430 mm) of Z, a 10,000 RPM spindle and a 20-tool magazine. The table measures 31.49 x 15.74 in (800 x 400 mm), so it is as deep as the Y stroke and only a little longer than the X stroke.
One figure needs a caution. The manufacturer's table gives X travel as 25.95 in (710 mm), and those two values do not describe the same distance. The metric figure matches the model number and the 800 mm table, so plan around 710 mm and treat the inch value as a misprint until it is confirmed.
The spindle nose is # 40 BIG-PLUS, a dual-contact interface that also accepts standard 40-taper holders. With the Fanuc drive, power is 5.5 / 7.5 kW, continuous and 30-minute ratings respectively. That is a modest motor for a machine of 8,613.46 lbs (3,907 kg): it fits finishing, drilling, tapping and light-to-medium milling better than heavy roughing in steel. Speeds up to 12,000 or 15,000 RPM are offered optionally for small-tool work.
The standard control is a Fanuc Oi-MF, with a Siemens 828D as an option, so two machines with the same model name can have different programming and operating environments. Footprint is 101.3 x 111.3 x 104.7 in (2,572 x 2,827 x 2,659 mm).
For larger work from the same maker, the XR-1000 is the step up: 40 in (1020 mm) of X, 24 in (610 mm) of Y and Z, and a 30 HP (22.37 kW) spindle against the 7.5 kW 30-minute rating here.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- # 40 BIG-PLUS spindle nose with 10,000 RPM standard and up to 12,000 or 15,000 RPM optionally
- 31.49 x 15.74 in (800 x 400 mm) table closely matched to 710 mm of X and 15.74 in (400 mm) of Y travel
- Choice of control: Fanuc Oi-MF standard, Siemens 828D optional
- 16.9 in (430 mm) of Z travel on a machine weighing 8,613.46 lbs (3,907 kg)
Limitations
- Spindle power with the Fanuc drive is 5.5 / 7.5 kW (continuous / 30 min), which limits heavy roughing
- 20 tools is the only magazine size in the table
- The 12,000 and 15,000 RPM spindles are options, not part of the base machine
- No table load, rapid rate or accuracy figure appears in the table, so those must be requested

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Y travel is 15.74 in (400 mm) and Z travel is 16.9 in (430 mm). X travel is given as 25.95 in (710 mm); the two values disagree with each other, and 710 mm is the one consistent with the model number and the 31.49 x 15.74 in (800 x 400 mm) table.
02
With the Fanuc drive the spindle is rated 5.5 / 7.5 kW, continuous and 30-minute. The table gives no torque figure and no separate rating for the Siemens 828D version, so ask for the power and torque curve of the configuration being quoted.
03
10,000 RPM is standard. Up to 12,000 or 15,000 RPM is available optionally. The taper is listed as # 40 BIG-PLUS, and the table does not state whether the faster spindles change the power rating.
04
A Fanuc Oi-MF is standard and a Siemens 828D is listed as an option. Programs, operator screens and options differ between the two, so a shop standardised on one should specify it when ordering or check which is fitted on an existing machine.
05
The footprint is 101.3 x 111.3 x 104.7 in (2,572 x 2,827 x 2,659 mm) and the machine weighs 8,613.46 lbs (3,907 kg). Allow extra room around those dimensions for door opening, chip handling and service access, which the table does not cover.
