Hit210??

Hello,

Sorry for what may be a dumb question to you, but what is the HIT210 rotary? This thing is substantially cheaper than any other rotary HAAS makes. Why is this?

Thank you,
Alex

Judging by the initials I'd say it's an indexer only and not a true 4th axis. That's just my impression though.

Yep it is a 45 degree indexing table..no full 4th..just indexes 45 degree increments..

It does not need a 4th axis installed being driven from the user M output. I can give an evaluation soon as my order for two of them has arrived.

Well, seems interesting. I am in need of a 4th axis, to rotate a part on it's side and machine that plane, so this would be good. There is a HRT110 on Ebay now for $4,500 that has some cut wires, and I was ready to run to the bank this morning for it until I saw the HIT210. Hmm.

HRT110-CNC, 360 degree positioning (future projects??), $4,516 on my door step, + wire splices, fab a rear cover
==or==
HIT210, 45 degree increments, $4,000+S&H=??, + broken back getting the thing in the mill!

Why me?
