Hi Guys,
As many of you already know, I have too many lathes (6", 9", 10"). I was happy having a South Bend 9A 9" lathe, then got the free Logan 200 10" lathe. Ideally, I would like to keep both lathes. The Logan does not have a quick change box.
Awhile ago, I bought this tailstock tap/die holder from a machinist online, Neil. On his website, there is a video on how to use his gadget.
Anyways, if I were to use this tool, would it matter if my lathe had a QC box or not?
Forgive me if the answer is obvious.
I am debating which lathe to keep if I were forced to keep only one due to lack of space (the Bridgeport mill literally takes up a thirc of my garage).
The Logan seems to have more mass than the South Bend, but is lacking a QC box.
Thanks,
Susan
