8" RPA-8 Automatic Multi Spindle Lathes

We have in stock National Acme 8" RPA-8 automatic screw machines for sale, and can rebuild, retool, and/or retrofit any of our used Acme Gridley screw machines to specifically meet your needs. JEM Automatics guarantees the performance of all Acme Gridley screw machines we rebuild. Optionally, turnkey setup services can be provided, where we would supply the machine fully tooled and already proven to produce your part automatically and within tolerance before it is delivered to your plant.

The Acme Gridley 8" RPA8 screw machine is an 8 spindle automatic lathe hydraulic chucker machine. Standard multispindle chucking machine specifications and capacities shown are for reference only, as a custom retrofit by JEM may improve upon or modify these specifications.
