I just acquired a logan model 957 lathe. Prior to this lathe, I have using a nine inch South Bend, so this is quite an upgrade. Everything seems to be in good working order. It has a three phase motor with a 220 v converter which seems to work fine. Came with a bunch of accessories, including steady rest, follower rest, taper attachment and a six jaw tru-set chuck as well as a 4 jaw and a three jaw outside chuck. The six jaw chuck seems to be pretty worn. According to the serial number it was made in 1951.
I was curious if anybody out there is set up to make the adapter to convert the spindle taper to mt3. Best I can tell my lathe spindle is 2 degrees taper. If anybody out there can make one, I would pay for your time. Logan actuator's site has one, but they want 157.00.
