i just purchased a Logan model 7500 lathe i ran it at the shop and its in good condition everything works on it and i bought it for $600 do you think it is a reasonable price......Sir
i want a lathe like that! but surly you could of done something more interesting than facing the barend and doing a small turn. how about thread cutting,boring. how come you didn't use the lathe to chamfer the bar? instead you used a file which really gives a rubbish finish and not very safe. i am a cnc setter/programer so this is really old school for me.
Unlike (most) other machines a lathe can be accurately made by pattern casting, flat metal stock, a bit of hand work (ie scraping), and a few off the shelf parts like threaded rods/nuts/bolts.
South bend lathes could originally be bought as a set of castings, rather than assembled machines. So if you can get the dimensioned drawings for the components you should make the castings yourself.
for CNC just put stepper motors/encoders on the feed/hand wheel, and connect to PC (or similar)

Someone should like make a video that says what to look out for when you buy a secondhand machine.
JustWonderingHowToDo 2 years ago
Yes, thats a good idea.
#1 is dont buy something just because its "rare" or someone else is coming to get it in a few minutes.
#2 try to see it in operation and lissen for weird shreiks, whistles,rattles, etc.
