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 GS-200-66L combines 600 mm (23.62 in) of Z travel with a 300 mm (11.81 in) maximum turning diameter, an 8 in (203 mm) chuck and a 66 mm (2.60 in) spindle bore. Maximum turning length is listed as the full 600 mm (23.62 in).
A turning length twice the turning diameter says shafts. The tailstock row reads programmable (optional), and optional is the word to notice. A 600 mm shaft gripped only in an 8 in chuck hangs unsupported over most of its length, so for that kind of work a tailstock is close to a necessity. A machine built without one is confined to short parts and bar work, whatever its Z travel.
The spindle 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. Bar capacity matches the bore at 66 mm (2.60 in), so long parts can also be made from bar and supported as they emerge.
Precision linear guideways carry the axes: 200 mm (7.87 in) of X travel, with rapids of 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) in Z. The quick Z rapid earns its keep here, since the turret has a long way to travel back on a long part. There are 12 VDI turret stations; live tooling and C-axis are optional. The control is listed as a Fanuc 0i-TF and weight as 3,800 kg (8,378 lb). Have the listed figures, and the tailstock question, settled from the machine's own records.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 600 mm (23.62 in) of Z travel and maximum turning length
- 66 mm (2.60 in) spindle bore and bar capacity
- 280 Nm (207 ft-lb) maximum spindle torque with 18.5 kW (25 hp)
- 30 m/min (1,181 ipm) Z rapid on precision linear guideways, useful over a long stroke
- Programmable tailstock listed as an option
Limitations
- The programmable tailstock is optional; without it, long shafts cannot be supported
- Spindle speed is limited to 4,000 RPM
- Live tooling and C-axis are optional extras, not standard equipment
- No steady rest or sub-spindle appears in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Not necessarily. The tailstock is listed as programmable and optional. Since the main reason to choose 600 mm (23.62 in) of turning length is shaft work, confirm that the machine you are considering has the tailstock fitted, and ask for its thrust and quill travel, which the listed figures do not give.
02
Maximum turning length is listed as 600 mm (23.62 in), equal to the Z travel, and maximum turning diameter is 300 mm (11.81 in). X travel is 200 mm (7.87 in). A part at full length leaves no spare Z stroke, so allow for tool overhang and tailstock position when judging real capacity.
03
An A2-6 spindle with a 66 mm (2.60 in) bore, listed at 18.5 kW (25 hp), 280 Nm (207 ft-lb) maximum torque and 4,000 RPM maximum speed. The chuck size is 8 in (203 mm).
04
Machine weight is listed as 3,800 kg (8,378 lb). The listed figures give no overall dimensions, so get the footprint from the machine's installation drawing, and add the length of a bar feeder if bar up to 66 mm (2.60 in) will be run.
