The Acer e-Lathe 2180V is a high-performance engine lathe built for precision machining with the added flexibility of an inverter-driven spindle. This model is ideal for shops requiring fine control over spindle rotation and demanding a large working envelope. It offers a generous capacity, including a 21-inch maximum swing over the bed and an extended 80-inch distance between centers, coupled with a 3-1 inch spindle bore for handling large stock.

The machine’s power comes from a 10 HP main spindle motor that utilizes a Variable Speed Inverter Drive. This allows the operator to select any speed within the range of 20 to 2,000 RPM through three mechanical gear steps (Low, Medium, and High) without interrupting the cut, providing optimal cutting conditions for any material or tool. The lathe’s foundation is a hardened and ground Meehanite casting bedway for superior rigidity and vibration damping. Standard features include a D1-8 camlock spindle nose, a quick-change gearbox for both Inch threads (4-56 TPI) and Metric threads, and an automatic longitudinal multiple feed stop for enhanced safety and productivity. The e-Lathe 2180V balances traditional lathe strength with modern variable speed control.
