  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here!

    Lathe Stall

    Well this has been re occurring daily on my new machine. Regardless of material (4140, brass, mild steel) the spindle is stalling with very small depth of cuts (0.005 at 800 rpm) with freshly sharpened HSS or Carbide tooling. I replaced the primary drive belt with a new one and that never made a...

    Well after spraying cutting oil and 20w oil all over my garage drywall, I am in need of a back splash. 4x6 sheet of stainless or aluminum would work perfectly. Anyone have something they’d like to sell in Calgary?

    I believe the machine is in at least ok condition if not better, aside from the defects mentioned above everything else works. Think I’ll list it for 400 and see if there are any bites. At this point I just want it out of my garage lol

    That’s what I thought, I’m more looking just to recoup my losses on this. I’d imagine parting this out on eBay would be my best option at this point? Have a number of change gears, chuck, carriage all in good condition. its 24” between centres Craig.

    Reasonable asking price Logan 200

    I’ve acquired a Logan 200 series 10” lathe a while ago. After further inspection the lathe requires some gear tooth repairs or possibly replacements, a broke change gear bracket that will require brazing for repair, and a broken reverse feed lever. I simply don’t have the time to complete all...
