I'm in the market for an older american made metal lathe *Logan South
Bend Atlas
Any info on pricing?
9" or 10" X 24"

I know this guy. *He's legit... just new to metalworking, and wanting a
good deal.

I already cautioned him about short-bed machines, but I'm really not up-
to-date on pricing for medium-old iron, being about ten years since I
purchased a lathe.

Thanks Lloyd
I definetly don't want any of the new imported stuff and shopping
around my local area there isn't to many right now.
Looked at the small 6" Atlas/Craftsman and a bit to small for my needs
I think.

Personally..Id strongly recommend a Logan 11 x 24 or 36, as long as its
in GOOD condition

Or even a bigger lathe. If you have the room..many lathes 11x36 or so
can be had. And at that size..even the imports tend to be pretty good.
Or even a 13/14/15" lathe. I run across them for $1500 fairly regularly
