Any tooling, or a bare machine? If it comes with any tooling at all,
that is a decent price(bid). The extended bed is a unique (not really
rare) option, that might be nice.
I went from a SB9 to a 10EE, and wow what a difference!!! Certain odd
repair jobs I used to just hate having to try to tackle are no big
deal any more. Interrupted cuts being one. The quality of my surface
finish is markedly better. There is a lot of cast iron in the 10EE
and it's there for a reason. It is a pain to move, but once you park
it, it's staying put. You won't regret it.
I can't speak for a Hardinge HLV-H, as I have never touched one, but
the 10EE is a hell of a nice machine.
