Our recent ACER 1340G high-speed precision engine lathe sale got us thinking about what our customers think are the benefits of owning an ACER Lathe. Here we share our thoughts based on our customer feedback. Certainly we have sold many of them. Each year ACER brings even more quality to their machine tool builds but we recommend ACER for their benefits. Here are the Top 5 Benefits of Owning an ACER Lathe:
1.) RELIABILITY:
Our ACER #acerdistributorship, goes back over 20+ years & we have sold a lot of their machine tools, but one thing that we don't have to do a lot is service them because they have the reliability that you need when purchasing a new #acerlathe.
When following the simple maintenance tasks from ACER, you will find that your ACER lathe will last for years. And if you need service, we offer it too. We are specialists in machine tools. It is always helpful having someone who knows the machines and can support them when they sell them. That's us!
2.) SELECTION/QUALITY:
ACER has put a lot of thought into their offerings. From the variable speed frequency driven lathes to the gear head engine lathes, they offer plenty of sizes in both types of lathes. In addition to your selection of lathes, ACER offers an expansive list of optional
accessories to meet any turning application. The most popular features are standard on the lathe.
