Show us your Logan lathes!

If you decide to use a switch that reverses the motor, you'll need to take care not to spin the chuck off the spindle. My Model 200 came
with a switch like that and I removed it. (I don't trust myself!)

I saw this happen 30yrs ago with a 14" Cincinnati. It "dinged" up the ways pretty badly and got the operators foot as well. I'm with Nogoingback.

Hi, new here, been lurking for while enjoying some good Logan Lathe info! Recently bought a Logan 816 off craigslist and spent the last couple weeks getting it disassembled, cleaned up and painted. I’m just getting into hobby machining so i have a lot to learn! In a previous occupation during high school and college, i used a lathe and a mill occasionally but really learning just how much i didn’t know back then.

I think i got pretty lucky with this purchase considering i didn’t really test anything before i bought it. It was so close to me,so i just took a chance on it...no to mention the guy delivered it for me. Anyway, I’ll post a few pics of my new baby...



What it looked like the day i bought it..no, i dint pay asking price:






During the initial cleanup...in hindsight, i should have just gave it a really good disassembly and cleaning as it was in pretty good shape and had a cool patina, but i got a little ahead of myself and started painting before i realized it...oh well, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out: (hopefully pics show up a little clearer once this is posted)

It's nice to see an oldie like yours. Looks like a pretty big chuck: is that 8"?

I got this, my first lathe, a few weeks ago. Its a Logan 922, born in 1952 according to the serial number.

I'm still getting it set up, accumulating tools and getting a feel for it.

And the tooling that came with it. Trying to find homes for this stuff is proving to be a challenge.

If you can't find a home for some of it, I think it would fit in my shop... Nice haul.

I have wanted a lathe for quite a while. I won an auction on a Monarch 10x20EE a few years ago. I got discouraged in a hurry,
the three phase power and the weight of the machine itself. I sold it and have been looking for a smaller lathe since. I was looking
at the Grizzley Lathes and the like. I found this machine on CL, had never heard of Logan Lathes. I liked the size and it was 110vac, and
the owner brought it to me. I think its a '41 serial number 2314. Not much in the way of tooling, two chucks, a Phase 2 tool post,
and a chuck for the tail stock. I'm considering buying a set of legs and a chip pan. Not sure about that though, I may just put it on a bench.

Great score with all that tooling... (4) chucks for crying out loud! really?
Can't quite make out the center of the picture, which is probably a good thing...
