How much does the Hardinge GX-710 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 Hardinge GX-710 is a BT 40 vertical machining center whose listed travels are 710 mm (28.0 in) in X and 510 mm (20.1 in) in both Y and Z. The spindle runs 10,000 RPM with 11 kW (15 hp), 15,000 RPM is listed as an option, and the magazine holds 24 tools.
Y and Z are generous for the X stroke. Y travel of 510 mm (20.1 in) is more than the 450 mm (17.7 in) depth of the 800 x 450 mm (31.5 x 17.7 in) table, so the spindle can reach past both table edges, useful for fixtures that overhang or for probing the full width of a plate. The equal Z gives room for a tall vise stack or a rotary table with a long tool still clearing the part. The Bridgeport V710 covers the same 710 mm of X with 15.74 in (400 mm) of Y and 16.9 in (430 mm) of Z, which shows how much deeper this envelope is.
Table load is 500 kg (1,102 lb) on a machine weighing 5,500 kg (12,125 lb). Rapids are 36 m/min (1,417 ipm), tool change is 2.2 sec tool-to-tool, and the listed accuracy is ±0.005 mm positioning with ±0.003 mm repeatability, under a Fanuc 0i-MF Plus control.
The table does not say how the spindle is driven or what torque it makes. Ask for both, and verify the listed figures on the machine's own documents, before quoting heavy work.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y and Z travel alongside 710 mm (28.0 in) of X
- 15,000 RPM spindle listed as an option over the standard 10,000 RPM
- 24-tool magazine with a 2.2 sec tool-to-tool change
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.005 mm, repeatability ±0.003 mm
Limitations
- Table is 450 mm (17.7 in) deep, less than the 510 mm (20.1 in) of Y travel, so part of the Y stroke has no table under it
- 11 kW (15 hp) with no torque or drive type listed
- The 15,000 RPM spindle is an option, not standard
- Table load limited to 500 kg (1,102 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
710 mm (28.0 in) in X, 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z. The table measures 800 x 450 mm (31.5 x 17.7 in), so it is longer than the X stroke and shallower than the Y stroke, and it is listed for 500 kg (1,102 lb).
02
No. The standard listed speed is 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM is optional. Spindle power is given as 11 kW (15 hp) with a BT 40 taper; the table does not say whether the optional spindle carries the same power rating.
03
Both have 710 mm of X travel. The Bridgeport V710 has 15.74 in (400 mm) of Y, 16.9 in (430 mm) of Z and 20 tools, where the GX-710 lists 510 mm (20.1 in) in Y and Z and 24 tools. The GX-710 is the heavier machine as listed, 5,500 kg (12,125 lb) against 8,613.46 lbs (3,907 kg) for the Bridgeport V710.
04
A 24-tool magazine with a listed tool-to-tool time of 2.2 sec. Maximum tool diameter, length and weight are not given, so check them for large face mills or long boring bars.
