Hi all,
Â*I had a Harbor freight lathe that I bought used.
While I got some utility from it, it was rusted after a hurricane
damaged my shed roof. I sold it cheap letting someone else do the clean up.
Â*So, I want another lathe, I don't want anther HF unit, not even sure I
want one of the larger Grizzly Lathes. Might be convinced though.
Â*I have looked at Bolton Lathes and they interest me, But I'm really
stretching what I want to spend at $2,000 by the time I buy some
accessories.
Â* I have looked for a used lathe, but I don't want to start with
other people problems.
Â*Any suggestions what to look at?

Ask Mark Wieber for one. He has dozens that mysteriously "appeared" in
his "shop."
I like my little Myford Super 7.
Not a cheap lathe by any standard - but very handy. I'd go for a B
series (power crossfeed) if I was looking tofay - but they are pretty
hard to find.

I've been very happy with my Wards PowerKraftÂ* (Logan Lathe) 10x31 ...
but the OP ain't going to find one new these days . The good thing is
that Scott Logan is still in business and selling parts for these . Mine
is nearly 70 years old and I can still buy most of the wear items from
them .
