Overview
The Hardinge SR-200 is a guide-bushing bar lathe, the type usually called Swiss, for stock up to 20 mm (0.787 in). The listed figures give it a 10,000 RPM main spindle, an 8,000 RPM sub-spindle, gang tooling and up to 7 axes.
The guide bushing is listed as removable for non-guide-bushing mode. With the bushing in, the bar is supported right at the cut, which is what allows long, slender parts to be turned without deflection. With it out, the machine works like a small conventional lathe on shorter parts and is less demanding about bar straightness and diameter tolerance, since the stock no longer has to slide through a bushing. Having both modes on one machine widens the range of jobs it can take.
Main-side strokes are 100 mm (3.94 in) in X1, 205 mm (8.07 in) in Z1 and 40 mm (1.57 in) in Y1. The Z1 stroke sets how much length can be turned in one chucking. The sub-spindle side has 50 mm (1.97 in) of X2 and 100 mm (3.94 in) of Z2. Tooling is 5 turning positions plus 3 cross-working positions on the gang, and 3 back-working positions for the sub-spindle. Live tooling runs to 8,000 RPM.
Power is small, as it should be at this bar size: 3.7 kW (5 hp) on the main spindle and 2.2 kW (3 hp) on the sub-spindle. Rapid traverse in Z is 24 m/min (945 ipm), the control is a Fanuc 31i-B and the machine weighs 2,500 kg (5,512 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Guide bushing listed as removable, so the machine runs with or without it
- 10,000 RPM main spindle and 8,000 RPM sub-spindle for small-diameter work
- Up to 7 axes, including 40 mm (1.57 in) of Y1 travel
- Live tooling to 8,000 RPM, with 3 cross-working and 3 back-working positions
Limitations
- Bar capacity ends at 20 mm (0.787 in)
- Only 5 turning positions on the gang, so tool-heavy parts need careful planning
- 3.7 kW (5 hp) on the main spindle and 2.2 kW (3 hp) on the sub-spindle limit depth of cut in tough alloys
- Z1 stroke of 205 mm (8.07 in) caps the length turned per chucking

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yes. The guide bushing row reads yes, removable for non-guide-bushing mode. With the bushing fitted the bar is supported at the cut for slender work; with it removed the machine handles shorter parts held by the spindle collet alone.
02
Maximum bar capacity is listed as 20 mm (0.787 in). The main spindle runs to 10,000 RPM with 3.7 kW (5 hp), and the sub-spindle to 8,000 RPM with 2.2 kW (3 hp), which suits the high speeds small diameters need.
03
The listed gang tool positions are 5 turning plus 3 cross-working, and there are 3 back-working positions. Live tooling speed is 8,000 RPM. The table does not say how many of the back-working positions are driven.
04
On the main side, X1 is 100 mm (3.94 in), Z1 is 205 mm (8.07 in) and Y1 is 40 mm (1.57 in). On the sub-spindle side, X2 is 50 mm (1.97 in) and Z2 is 100 mm (3.94 in). The machine is listed with up to 7 axes and a Z rapid of 24 m/min (945 ipm).
