Got an 11" Logan lathe

[WestCoastEngineer]

Finally, picked up a Logan 11" lathe about a month ago. Found it on offerup.com. I really wasn't planning on buying it because it is a turret lathe and I want a lathe with a tail stock. But the gentleman selling it made me an offer I couldn't refuse. My intentions are to fully strip it down and re-paint it and replace any worn parts. I will post more pictures as the project progresses.

Nice, looks like a worthy project. With the compound and cross slide you can do almost everything you need while you look for a tailstock.

BTW, I spent many an enjoyable day racing karts out in Kerman back in the early 80's.

Sometimes, a turret can be handy thing to have.

Very true. I'll more than likely keep it, unless I can trade it for a tail stock.

Lucky dog, you are. Nice lathe. Be sure to keep us posted as you get it back in service.

Okay, I am adding some more pictures showing my progress on the Logan lathe. I am very fortunate, my work has graciously allowed me to powder coat some of the pieces of my lathe. So far, I have gotten the chip tray, legs, bed posts, gear cover, and drive belt cover powder coated. I also took the bed and had it hot tanked in caustic lye to get is super-clean for painting. I then parkerized the bed so that the paint will adhere to it better. With a little luck I'll get the bed / tray / legs re-assembled this weekend.

On the plus side, everything bed and below is the same as a Logan 10", Meaning sadly the tailstock isn't. But in following Logan stuff for the past several years, they aren't hard to find. They are great lathes. Scott Logan moderates a Groups.io board and is generally willing to answer any questions. There are still a large number of parts available from Logan.

More progress to report... I got the bed painted and re-assembled to the chip tray and legs. This weekend, I'll start tearing down the head and getting it prepped for powder coating.
