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 RS-150 MSY is a compact turn-mill center with a sub-spindle and a Y-axis. Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.65 in), maximum turning diameter 200 mm (7.87 in) and maximum turning length 305 mm (12.0 in). Both spindles have a C-axis and the 12-station turret carries live tooling.
Y travel is 40 mm (1.57 in). That is what separates this machine from a C-axis lathe: a driven tool can move off the spindle centreline, so flats, keyways and off-centre holes are cut with a straight Y move instead of being approximated by rotating the part against X. The stroke is short, so it suits features on bar-sized parts and not wide faces. Live tools run to 6,000 RPM. No live-tool power is given.
The main spindle is listed at 6,000 RPM and 11 kW (15 hp) on an A2-5 nose. The sub-spindle matches the speed at 6,000 RPM but has 5.5 kW (7.5 hp), half the power, so back-end operations should be kept light. The table lists no torque for either spindle.
X travel is 155 mm (6.10 in) and Z travel 305 mm (12.0 in), with a rapid traverse of 24 m/min (945 ipm) in X and Z. The control is a Fanuc 0i-TF Plus. Weight is 3,600 kg (7,937 lb). Chuck size and guideway type are not in the listed figures.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 40 mm (1.57 in) of Y travel for true off-centre milling and drilling
- Main and sub-spindle both at 6,000 RPM, each with a C-axis
- 12-station live tooling turret with driven tools to 6,000 RPM
- 24 m/min (945 ipm) rapid traverse in X and Z
Limitations
- The sub-spindle has 5.5 kW (7.5 hp), half the 11 kW (15 hp) of the main spindle
- No torque figure is listed for either spindle or for the driven tools
- Bar capacity is 42 mm (1.65 in) and turning length 305 mm (12.0 in), so it is a small-part machine
- Y travel of 40 mm (1.57 in) restricts the width of milled features

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Y travel is listed as 40 mm (1.57 in). That lets driven tools work off the spindle centreline for flats, slots and off-centre holes. The other travels are 155 mm (6.10 in) in X and 305 mm (12.0 in) in Z.
02
The main spindle is listed at 6,000 RPM and 11 kW (15 hp) with an A2-5 nose. The sub-spindle is listed at 6,000 RPM and 5.5 kW (7.5 hp). Both have a C-axis. The table gives no torque for either one.
03
Live tool speed is listed as 6,000 RPM, in a turret with 12 stations. Driven-tool power and torque are not given, so the size of end mill or drill the turret can drive has to be confirmed separately.
04
Bar up to 42 mm (1.65 in), and parts up to 200 mm (7.87 in) in diameter and 305 mm (12.0 in) long, according to the listed figures. The machine weighs 3,600 kg (7,937 lb). No chuck size is stated.
