WTB Small Lathe and Mill - Texas

[T. J.]

Here is a Logan in Amarillo.

It's been on CL for about a month, so he might be in a bargaining mood. It has the steady rest with it, which is a plus, but I don't see much else - most notably any change gears.

I was actually going to send you another ad for a well tooled 12" Atlas/Craftsman that was on CL here a day or two ago, but it's already gone. It was listed for $2250.

FWIW, I drove to Wichita Falls to get my Logan/Wards a few years ago. It's similar to the one above, but with a quick change gear box. I gave $1200 for it.

I can't remember the company name, but there is a machinery dealer in Lubbock. He bought some machines at an auction near me a year or so ago. I don't know anything about them, or how their pricing might run, but it isn't far up the road from you.

You’re probably thinking of Lubbock Machine Tool/Arrow Machinery - arrowmachinery.com

They tend to be fairly pricey from what I’ve seen, but they also don’t usually have “hobbyist” class stuff either.
