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"


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.

The more you present a leftist with factual evidence

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 too am on the Left Coast. Bakersfield and Ontario.

How much can you afford? I work as a service tech in machine shops all
over So Cal and run into stuff all the time.

You may also wish to contact Leigh at MarMachine..Costa Mesa. He
specializes in hobby type used industrial machine tools. A very fair man
with good Stuff on hand all the time



Drop him an email and see what he has

Or simply call him

He has been overloaded with smaller lathes.
