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 GS-200-66 puts a 66 mm (2.60 in) spindle bore behind an 8 in (203 mm) chuck. That is a large hole for this chuck size, and it defines the machine: bar up to 66 mm (2.60 in) feeds through a lathe whose envelope is otherwise a moderate 300 mm (11.81 in) in turning diameter by 450 mm (17.72 in) in turning length.
The spindle ratings follow the bigger stock. It is listed at 18.5 kW (25 hp) with a maximum torque of 280 Nm (207 ft-lb) and a top speed of 4,000 RPM, on an A2-6 nose. Thick bar needs torque more than it needs rpm, and 4,000 RPM is the ceiling to keep in mind if the same machine must also run small-diameter work in free-cutting materials.
Axis travels are 200 mm (7.87 in) in X and 450 mm (17.72 in) in Z on precision linear guideways, with rapid traverse of 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z. The turret has 12 VDI stations. Live tooling and C-axis are each listed as optional, so milling capability varies from one machine to the next.
Listed weight is 3,500 kg (7,716 lb) and the control is a Fanuc 0i-TF. A bar feeder for 66 mm stock is a substantial piece of equipment in its own right, so plan floor space and bar support along with the lathe, and have the listed figures confirmed against the machine's documentation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 66 mm (2.60 in) spindle bore and bar capacity on an 8 in (203 mm) chuck machine
- Maximum spindle torque of 280 Nm (207 ft-lb) from 18.5 kW (25 hp)
- Z rapid of 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) and X rapid of 24 m/min (945 ipm)
- 12 VDI turret stations, with live tooling and C-axis listed as options
Limitations
- Spindle speed is capped at 4,000 RPM, a limit for small diameters and soft materials
- Live tooling and C-axis are optional, not part of every machine
- Maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (11.81 in), so the large bore does not come with a large swing
- No tailstock or sub-spindle appears in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum bar capacity is listed as 66 mm (2.60 in), the same as the spindle bore. The chuck is an 8 in (203 mm) size on an A2-6 nose. Because bore and bar capacity are the same number, expect true 66 mm bar to need a suitable collet chuck or liner arrangement; ask the seller how the machine is set up.
02
Maximum torque is listed as 280 Nm (207 ft-lb), with 18.5 kW (25 hp) and a top speed of 4,000 RPM. The listed figures do not say at what speed the torque peak occurs or whether the power is a continuous rating.
03
Only if it was built with the options. Live tooling and C-axis are both listed as optional, and no live-tool speed is given. Without them the machine is an X and Z lathe with 12 VDI turret stations. Check the configuration on the machine itself.
04
X travel is 200 mm (7.87 in) and Z travel is 450 mm (17.72 in). Rapid traverse is 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z on precision linear guideways. Maximum turning length is 450 mm (17.72 in), equal to the Z travel.
