I am considering making an offer on this lathe American Pacemaker 20x48.
Its at the same location as my monarch10ee.
I see the long beds [ priced at ] but bringing?? pretty good money but the large swing lathes with short beds seem to bring much less. A 48" between centers is ok with me.
The 10ee is about paid off. Time to make another deal.
This lathe does have a steady rest. I don't think it has a taper attachment. Its complete with only one four jaw independent chuck,no tool holders.. Nice ways. Nothing beat up.
The only drawback for me is the 20hp motor. I would have to get a bigger phase converter but that's not a deal breaker. I have a solid 200 amp service.
To hear it run I have to fix a generator. Bad injector pump, So its untested.
I was considering making a $3,500 offer. I can get better pictures but am trying not to show my strong interest yet. I believe its a good lathe. Ex-ray vision. This would be my last lathe!
Turned the chuck and shifted gears and it all feels tight. That's not a test run.

With the10ee they knew I wanted it bad. sellers had me I cant always hide my interest. Bad poker face.
I'm trying to help these good folks sell some machinery. I'm no salesman. Were talking about pricing. Realistic pricing. They were recently burglarized and don't want people out there. Hard to sell things like that. Thieves take more than property when they steal. I'm their only customer so far.
They are disappointed but times are bad. Covid has hurt sales
Its has done long term damage in many ways.
Comments about the American Pacemaker lathe's price would be appreciated. Always an honest answer on p.m.
I like it. Only 800 rpms but my south bends cut fine at that speed. 20hp of power baby!.
Thanks Mike
