$14,500 CDN dollars plus $2060.00 CDN Dollars for the 2 Axis Acu-Rite 200S DRO Factory Installed. Taxes extra and since they were shipping me the B&S #13 Freight prepaid, they added the lathe for no extra shipping charges. The best featuture was that the lathe was in stock for immeadiate shipping. It weighs 1650 Lbs and since I can not get a forklift into my shop, It was still within the weight capacity of my engine hoist.
The company I dealt with basicly deals with Industry. They do not go after the home hobbyist market so all the machines they sell are industrial grade.
My second and third choices at the time were the New SouthBend 14x40 but it was just shy of $20,000 CDN, weighed 3500 lbs and was still vapourware. (Will be out soon, but not sure when) and the Kent USA 14x40 lathe which is a misnomer as it is Taiwan made as well and about the same price and weight as the SB.
I sold the Logan 9x28 as a package for $2500 CDN so that paid for the DRO.
Glad you like the idea of the FootMaster Castors, they are under most of my stuff and will be under more when I can order another batch.
