How much does the Hardinge Conquest GT 27 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Hardinge. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hardinge Conquest GT 27 is a small precision lathe for bar and collet work: the listed figures give a bar capacity of 27 mm (1.06 in), a maximum turning diameter of 155 mm and a turning length of 305 mm (12 in). The model is not on Hardinge's current product pages, so treat the figures here as a guide and confirm them against the documentation of the machine in front of you.
Accuracy is what the table emphasises. Spindle runout is listed as guaranteed below 2.5 µm (0.0001 in) and positioning repeatability as +/-0.0025 mm. On a lathe this size, those two numbers decide whether bearing fits and sealing diameters can be turned to finished size without a grinding operation afterwards. The slides are Turcite-coated box ways, a construction chosen for damping and stiffness more than for very high traverse rates.
The spindle has an A2-5 nose, runs to 6,000 rpm and is driven by 7.5 kW. That is ample for free-cutting bar at 27 mm but modest for heavy cuts at the full 155 mm diameter. Eight turret stations are listed and the control is a Fanuc 0i-TF. Travels, rapid rates and machine weight are not in the table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed spindle runout is guaranteed below 2.5 µm (0.0001 in)
- Positioning repeatability listed as +/-0.0025 mm
- Turcite-coated box ways for damping under the cut
- 6,000 rpm spindle with an A2-5 nose and 27 mm (1.06 in) bar capacity
Limitations
- Bar capacity is limited to 27 mm (1.06 in)
- Spindle power of 7.5 kW is modest for work near the 155 mm maximum turning diameter
- Only 8 stations are listed, and the table shows no live tooling, sub-spindle or tailstock
- Axis travels, rapid rates and machine weight are not in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed bar capacity is 27 mm (1.06 in). Maximum turning diameter is 155 mm and maximum turning length is 305 mm (12 in). The spindle nose is A2-5, so chucks and collet closers made for that nose fit.
02
The listed figures give a guaranteed spindle runout below 2.5 µm (0.0001 in) and a positioning repeatability of +/-0.0025 mm. On a used machine these depend on spindle and way condition, so ask for a recent test cut and a runout check instead of relying on the listed values.
03
The spindle is listed at 6,000 rpm and 7.5 kW with an A2-5 nose. The control is a Fanuc 0i-TF. No torque figure is given, so heavy roughing capability at larger diameters cannot be judged from the table alone.
04
The table lists 8 stations. It gives no detail on tool shank size, live tooling or a second spindle, so confirm the tooling arrangement on the actual machine, particularly if the job needs cross drilling or back working.
