Hello all,
Ran across this ACME turret lathe, seller is asking $2500. Seems to be pretty well tooled up, and looks like a very stout machine.
My experience has mainly been in South Bend 14.5-16" lathes, but I like any old American iron.
I can't quite identify this unit, but it looks very close to an Acme
No. 1 model, or a
No. 2 model
Also looks close to a No. 5R/W or a No. 6 R/W
Catalog specs on
vintagemachinery say nearly 7klbs on No 1 and 2, and almost 5klbs on 5/6 models
I don't have any problem moving heavy machinery. The price seems fair, but want to know if this machine is worth it, or if they are prone to some sort of odd issues/failures.
