    Maybe a Logan lathe in Vancouver

    EDIT: I guess you mean that the drill chuck would replace a center and dog? I don't see how that's any different than just using the regular 3-jaw chuck (or a collet). Previously: It might help @YYCHM but now I don't understand. If you are using a dog, why not just put a MT3 (?) center in the...

    Would you drive to Belleville to see this lathe (listed at $1000) ? It's the same sort of thing.....it's the whole day (and a long one at that, even if the ferry sailing isn't cancelled) to go to Vancouver and back, and the ferry is $150. Assuming I would ever want to go to Vancouver!! :)

    One use is to put a drill in that chuck with a 'crotch' tailpiece to center round stock for cross-drilling.

    Belt cover is missing (smashed?) and replaced with a homebrew substitute which doesn't appear to have a belt tension adjustment. No pictures of the gears which may be missing teeth. Bearings may be excellent. If not, the chuck end bearing is a $400 USD item. Yes, perhaps the full set of...

    Maybe a Logan lathe in Vancouver

    I posted this on the Logan lathe group (groups.io), also on the Logan FBook group. Quick reply from Scott Logan (Logan Actuator is still supporting Logan lathes with parts and info) and some other folks indicates it's a Logan 210 or 211 with a home-made belt cover. I'd want to take a good look...

    Maybe a Logan lathe in Vancouver

    There's a Logan-style threading gear chart, but not in the usual spot inside the gear cover. Could be one of the 'bench style' Logans like the 210, but missing the short leg (bench is too narrow to support that). Hard to see if the cross feed button is there.Perhaps it's one of the lathes that...
