I'm in the market for an older american made metal lathe *Logan South

Any info on pricing?
9" or 10" X 24"

First of all..where do you live?

Pricing differs all over the nation.

In industrial areas..they can be had for very little money

In non industrial areas/states..they can be far more money.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned

I'm on the west coast where soon they will probably ban you from
owning a lathe at home! Just kidding they ban everything else out
here.
I came across a Logan 10' x 24" asking price $800 but have to go look
at it to see condition and what tooling he has with it. Does that
price seem high?

Thanks
Greg


I have a Logan mod 922, 11"x36" Bench Mod. with cast legs. Purchased
in '04 for $1850. Reasonable shape and reasonably tooled, 3 jaw, 4jaw,
steady rest, face plate, 5C adapter and a few collets. The shipping
was a killer from FL. to WA.

Your $800 in good shape with _any_ tooling sounds like a good deal.

I Really like the Logan. They are still in business and can provide a
measure of support for their older machines. Must say they are proud
of parts but the quality is first class.
