At 5k, this won't last long. Fantastic machine for the size/weight.

Ordinarily Craig, I love it when you post up the pictures. But, man, like it doesn't hurt enough already being on the wrong cost machinery wise. LOL.

Coast....

 

[YotaBota]

cost or coast?

I was going to say - Yes and yes, lol

That's another brand of machine you never hear a bad word about and it should be easy, relatively speaking, to basement.

And for those that may not know (I didn't for a while) there is EMCO and there is ENCO.

ENCO being one of the generic Taiwan machines.

I have a EMCO 4J, does that count

Yes I should have added that, thanks. I just sold an Enco lathe and they used the same green paint as Emco.

 

[YYCHM]

@eotrfish has an EMCO. Man that thing runs smooth.

Emco MAIER My goto lathe. Solid, precise and reliable. You wont go wrong with this one!

 

[TorontoBuilder]

Yah know this always happens when you buy a new lathe, another comes along that taunts you

The price is non-negotiable people, BUT you can ask the seller to toss in the Nikon Optical comparator that they also have listed for $250.

I love my Emco v13 and the v10p I had before it

 

[garball]

Id take both if it were closer. Would really love a v13 though.

I've heard mostly yes but sometimes no. Taiwan did produce similar ENCO lathes & ENCO tooling usually through N-Am distributers back in the day. Then some ENCO's started showing up from mainland China either as clones or possibly outsourced, not really sure. But they were of generally lower quality.

EMCO-Maier afaik were always only made in Austria, but even that seems to be shrouded because I have definitely seen the Maier & Taiwan in the same title. Now was that name brand ripoff like a one-armed 'Henkle' knife, or certain models were agreeably outsourced? Its a crazy world.

I lusted for an EMCO-Maier when I was a teen, but alas, it never materialized.

In the 80's Emco outsourced some production to Taiwan on the smaller machines like the compact 5 and 8. They were quickly copied and were the basis for many of the mini lathes we see today. The new Grizzly/SB Heavy 10 is almost a direct copy of the Emco Super 11.

All of the larger machines like the S11 and V13 were made in Austria.

The Nikon 6C is a bargain, esp, with the rotating glass. I have a 6, converted to LED for added brightness.
Once you get one of these you wonder how you ever did without one. Great for deciphering carbide inserts and fixing the A60 tip widths.

5k for a Super 11 in todays market is a good deal. He will have no problem getting it. This isn't really the machine to be trying to chisel the guy down.

I've been looking for an optical comparator for a looong time. and no joy here in the west.
