Hi,
I have found an Acer 3VS for sale in my area and after looking for a nice Bridgeport for quite some time, this looks to be a viable solid option.
The model is a 3VS and from the pictures it looks to be the Ultima model. My first question is, how do these differ from the Acer E-mills? This model has the 60-4500 rpm AC inverter freq drive.
Also just looking for some general feedback on these, from what I've read they have been preferred over Bridgeport's and are a solid machine. What should I look for when looking at the machine? Just the standard, heavy wear on the ways, backlash, spindle deflection, etc? I am not looking to run this 40+ hours a week it would just be for general machining and fabrication at home.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
