    Default HM 50 milling machine

    I noticed the weight of the HM 50 is different weight from last years model is 770Kg this years model is 850 Kg why the weight difference something must have changed with the machine construction

    I know your looking for a serious answer, but I would say h&f just added another tub or two of BS to the machine.....BS is heavy you know....

    I've never paid attention to the weight provided, personally I don't think it would be all that accurate.

    Probably left another 80kg of casting sand in there.....

    Over the years the HM52 has gone from 850 to 1050, then back to around 900 and something.
    I just think they estimate the weight as how can it vary so much.
