Receiving Inspection - machine will be inspected upon arrival at Monarch Lathes facility and its condition as received fully documented. WARRANTY: 12 Months from Date of Shipment A "New" machine is all used castings except the bed and saddle which are new. Heres the price list to get your 10EE rebuilt head to toe: about $55k. If Monarch were making- and selling! - 10,000 10EEs a year, they'd cost significantly less than the rumored $50K to $80K they're asking now.ĭoc.If you take inflation into consideration a 10EE cost the same in their prime as they do now. If you tool up to make ten, it's gonna cost a bundle. I can see places like Boeing and JPL and NASA needing a few, but how many sales is that, per year?Įconomy of scale works both ways if you tool up to make 100,000 of something, you might be able to make it dirt cheap. It's not a turret lathe or second-op, it's a precision toolroom lathe. Its a jungle "out there" - always has been. In short, to be "delicate" about this, they are more likely than not to leave or abandon you "with child" after having "had their way". The discussion about the lathe may be moot if as Lazlo's posts suggests that not only have Hardinge stopped making those lathes but have bought in the Chinese competitor for Hardinge's internal use.īusiness(es) and politicians have - and have to have - considerable self-preservation instincts and if they have any morals at all, they are those of an alley-cat. It more about how well a company is going and the chances of how it may "perform" in the shorter and longer terms that decides its worth - and its fate. Is a bit different to the way the company is a bit wrong as that is exactly how a company is assessed by the Stock Exchange as well as investors and creditors as well as Moody's etc. My point is that to make speculative suppositions with out facts is not being fair to a long standing quality firm such as Hardinge.
