ACER E-LATHE 1440V on our floor

ACER is great at offering Special Package Pricing which offer you more machine for your money. The 1440V is no exception.

ACER is offering a Special Price of $14,470.00 as this machine's special package pricing. **Note: Shipping is additional.

This special package includes all the Standard Features that come with the machine but also includes a 2-Axis DRO. Since we are authorized distributors for Fagor Automation & ACU-RITE® we suggest changing out ACER's standard Newall with either of these systems.

The ACU-RITE® DRO203 has so many great features .

Both the FAGOR & ACU-RITE® offer you the precision of glass scales, making it much more accurate. We have worked with all three systems and by far the glass scale is more precise, built a bit better & can withstand most challenging of turning applications.
