btw....Hardinge just discontinued the HLV-H. I dont know why..but
suspect that the Chinese clones at $8-12k ate into their sales badly.

What Gunner said. A Hardinge/Bridgeport peddler stopped in the shop the
other day. He gave me the news about the HLV-H. He said at 40K a copy the
CNC machines were a better choice for most customers. However they are still
refurbing used ones.
