Logan 7502L lathe available near me. Good deal or ?

[tominboise]

Listed on FB Market place for $1500. It's a couple hours away from me. It would be for home hobby use. I have 220V single phase in my garage.

On the surface, i’d say that you should get it.
It’s a well made lathe with some extras.
Ask if there is a tailstock that comes with it

 

[benmychree]

With the turret saddle, I'd say no, cumbersome for all but production work, no tailstock would say it all, no, no.

I checked with the seller and no tailstock included. So I will pass on it. Thanks for the help.

I was building this for my personal use but have several others so it is time to let this one go. this machine will do work. or an excellent hobby machine can demonstrate.

There's another Enco in West Boise with a stand, $3,500 though. I shopped used lathes across OR, WA and ID for about 6 weeks, very slim pickings. Gave up and purchased a new lathe from Grizzly.

There is the only Logan I would buy on ebay right now, the 14" model 6565. Those are beasts with 10 plus inch wide bed width and 2,000 lbs. The 1440 Grizzly I just purchased in comparison has a 7 inch wide bed and weighs 1,300 lbs. But Logan parts are extremely expensive and they lack some of the modern lathe features.

You aren't kidding about slim pickings. I looked for a mill for a long time and finally bought a new PM. It's not a bridgeport but it beats what I had before, which was nothng.

And what little is out there is way over priced imo, and hasn't been selling.
