Logan 1400 Lathe

[maddawg1952]

I recently acquired a Logan 1400 metal lathe , I don't know a lot about Logan any input or reviews? Where's a good place to get tooling?

Logan is still around in a way, they apparently support their lathes at http://www.lathe.com/

For generic tooling, try ebay, enco, msc, etc...

Logan made a fine lathe and they still carry parts for them if you should need any. What sort of tooling do you need?

An excellent lathe. I used one extensively years ago, and did very precise work with it. Keep it well-lubricated (especially the ways) and make sure it's properly leveled, and you'll have many satisfying hours.

Great lathe, light duty but a great little lathe. I had a 1946 bought from the family of the original owner after he passed away at age 91. I had it for 3 years then sold it to buy bigger, then never did. Still need one to this day lol. I have every single Logan attachment you could purchase in 46' with it too.

Nice lathe. You should've kept it.

Nice lathe, have the same lathe sitting at Dad's house, he has given it to me, just trying to make room for it...

Thanks for all the replies I'm just looking for basic stuff, knurling tool, cut off knife, right and left tool holder, I'm more than likely only going to make tools for work on it and use it for small parts I need, not anything overly complicated or precise. I'm only into it for $150.00 at this point. Found lots of stuff on ebay for decent $$. It needs a chuck key ,but until I find one for less than $15 I'm using a 1/4" sliding t-bar and a 1/4" x 6" extension

Enco.

That's a pretty basic question...do you have a use for that thing?

I ask this because you may be $1000 or so from very limited usability.

On a good note;
Post what size tooling you need because I'm about to liquidate a few hundred pounds of stuff including measurement devices. I can make this whole ordeal much nicer for you.

Limited useablity? I've already used what little tooling it came with to fix the bent carriage handle and made a set of manhole lifting pins, a 2" corporation stop wrench out of a 1 1/4" impact socket that was junk , I think I'm doing ok so far for what I want it for.

Yes. This gentleman's "offer" was a thinly-veiled attempt to offload some of his junk into your shop. For a price, of course.

That's some epic suckage right there.
