Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hardinge Info

Joe,

That's a 2nd op machine. With a turret tailstock one can perform a fair
number of operations, but as it, it's largely a production lathe.
If you wanted to build up a bolt-on CNC slide setup, that'd be a decent
platform to work off of. I'd love to find an inexpensive DV59 to play
with, have all the parts to roll my own CNC slide setup.
My dad paid about $2400 for a 50's era model. If it's in good clean
condition and has tooling, you just might consider buying it, detailing
it, and reselling. A step pulley model in good condition ought to be
worth a couple grand, a VS model can bring more.
