Ordered a new lathe...

[jareese]

I have ordered a new lathe. An Acra 1740TVS-3. The bad news is I'm going from BXA to CXA. I have A LOT of holders, and 2 different quick release tool posts. One is an Aloris, and the other is a knock-off. I'll also be going from a MT-3 to an MT-4...
So.......... I will be selling my EISEN 1440EV Precision Lathe and MANY accessories for it. I'm thinking of offering everything as a package deal at first, (read that again) so basically someone can get pretty much everything they need, minus tools and inserts, for about the price of the machine alone - Not too sure what that will be yet.
The lathe is only a couple years old and works flawlessly, now... I posted a vid not too long ago on taking an alignment cut on it recently. I only had ~0.0001 deviation over 10" taking 5 thou cuts.

More to come in the near future.
Lathe is located in SW Wisconsin, near Spring Green.

If you know anyone looking for a Taiwanese variable speed 14x40 let them know please.

I am not selling anything right now - I am still currently using it for my gunsmithing business.

Might want to post this down in the gunsmithing forum. Lot of folks who are into machining down in that forum.

No clue what any of that means but congrats on getting what I presume is a nice system upgrade. I see from your avatar you have a good technical adviser and assistant too. Have fun with your new toy and GLWS of the other equipment.

I have finally talked myself into buying a PM1440GT-VS and a good milling machine. I am committed to ordering it this year. Thanks to your post, I will have to look into the Arca lathes as I am not familiar with them.
Will definitely be keeping an eye out on this post. I am only about 5 hours away.

Would you be interested in a MT4 to MT3 adapter to retain some of your MT3 Stuff?
I have one that is Brand new unused I want to sell,
or would trade for something of your BXA stuff

The Eison that I have is the same machine as the PM. Actually, the PM one just came out not too long ago - Last year’ish?
