Lathes/Mills in Canada

[Matt Stevens 1Participant @mattstevens1]

So what I am hearing is that providing the Logan over here is in as good a shape as the pictures suggest….and that it has change wheels, then its a good buy???

I might check with Logan US for spares availability first.

Thanks

P.S. Bandersnatch….I get first dibs!!

Uh, yes, that is what I said in the first sentence of my posting.

In my opinion you should call the sellers and check the Logan out ASAP – it will not be for sale for long.

I should state I have no connection at all to this lathe or the sellers – I only encourage you to consider it, as US built lathes in apparently good condition per the pics do not come up for sale every day in Ontario.

Regarding the remark about the locking nut being a pain- there is an easy fix for that minor inconvenience. If you buy an impact socket (wrench) that fits the nut, and weld a short piece of flat bar on it, no more inconvenience. I did one years ago for my South Bend lathe and never looked back.

yeah …. I was kidding, Matt – I wouldn't do that to you. Although, how I'd feel if I actually could get it down to my basement, I don't know .

Seriously though, I wouldn't hang around.

Incidentally, you can set up a search in Kijiji and have them email any hits to you once a day. You can limit the search by price, distance etc. I've been doing this for "Myford" for some time now – it's how I turned up a Myford dividing head for a decent price a few years ago.
