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 SV-150 is a small box-way turning center with a 6 inch (152 mm) chuck, 42 mm (1.65 in) of bar capacity and a spindle listed at 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) TIR concentricity. Maximum turning diameter is 200 mm (7.87 in) and maximum turning length 305 mm (12.0 in).
Going by the listed figures this is a straightforward X and Z lathe. There are 12 turret stations, 155 mm (6.10 in) of X travel and 305 mm (12.0 in) of Z, and nothing in the table about live tooling, a C-axis, a sub-spindle or a tailstock. Parts that need milled or cross-drilled features will go to a second operation elsewhere unless a particular machine was built with more than the table shows.
What the table does emphasise is the spindle. 6,000 RPM and 11 kW (15 hp) on an A2-5 nose is a quick, moderately powered spindle for this chuck size, and a concentricity of 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) TIR is the kind of number that counts on bearing fits, seal diameters and other finish-turned features where runout goes straight into the part. Hardened and ground box ways add damping, which helps surface finish and tool life in hard or interrupted cuts.
Rapid traverse is 20 m/min (787 ipm). The control is listed as a Fanuc 0i-TF Plus, and the machine weighs 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). No spindle torque is given.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Spindle concentricity listed as 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) TIR
- 6,000 RPM and 11 kW (15 hp) on an A2-5 spindle nose
- Hardened and ground box ways on a 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) machine
- 12 turret stations with a 6 inch (152 mm) chuck and 42 mm (1.65 in) bar capacity
Limitations
- No live tooling, C-axis or sub-spindle in the listed figures
- No tailstock is listed, and maximum turning length is 305 mm (12.0 in)
- Spindle torque is not stated, so roughing capacity cannot be judged from the table
- Rapid traverse of 20 m/min (787 ipm) is moderate for short-cycle parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Spindle concentricity is listed as 0.003 mm (0.0001 in) TIR. The table gives no axis positioning accuracy or repeatability, so this figure describes the spindle only, not the size-holding of the whole machine.
02
Neither appears in the listed figures. The table shows a 12-station turret and X and Z travels of 155 mm (6.10 in) and 305 mm (12.0 in), which describes a turning-only machine. Verify on the individual machine if milling capability is needed.
03
The listed chuck size is 6 inch (152 mm) and the maximum bar capacity is 42 mm (1.65 in), on an A2-5 spindle nose. Maximum turning diameter is 200 mm (7.87 in) and maximum turning length 305 mm (12.0 in).
04
Maximum speed is 6,000 RPM and power is 11 kW (15 hp). No torque figure or duty rating is listed. For a 6 inch (152 mm) chuck that is a fast spindle with moderate power, better matched to finishing and medium cuts than to heavy roughing.
