Elmira, NY, May 1, 2006: Hardinge Inc. is expanding its line of turning centers by introducing two new SV-Series two-axis machines, based on the established Talent® platform. The Hardinge designed and built SV 150 and the SV 200 machines offer users superior value, combining the features and performance associated with the company's high performance lathes at an unbeatable introductory price.

"We feel that these new models offer a best-in-class choice for users seeking lathes for two-axis machining applications. Like all Hardinge lathes, the SV-Series reflects Hardinge's commitment to quality and performance without compromise."Both products are available immediate for shipment.
