Looks like a decent lathe.

I still like a lathe with a 12" minimum swing although it's not used often and I never liked removing the gap.

What do you mean by "removing the gap"?

Some lathes have a section(creates a gap) in the ways right under the chuck that comes out for swinging a larger piece.

Ha, never knew that. Thanks.

Pretty sure this is Yota’s machine, and yes it is tempting. I want my next one to have a quick change gear box though, so I’m steeling myself to resist...

Thought he had a 9" SM Utilathe?

 

[DavidR8]

The ad has been updated to pending so someone is getting a good deal.
I'll keep my eye open for you Frank

Thanks bud, I knew I could count on you for that...

I actually saw the same ad this morning and recognized the picture right away. I do like Logans, just not the right time I guess.

My apologies for not posting it here first, another senior moment. I should have given the forum first dibs.
Frank have you seen this:

The 9B is what I was looking for before I found the SM, now I'm kind of sold on the gearheads.

Frank have you seen this:

Haha, I see you’re in cahoots with David now!
Actually I hadn’t seen that one, I usually just scout the Victoria and island ads for close by scoops. I’m only casually keeping one eye out, at present I’ve got enough to keep me busy without a new flame in the shop. Your little 400 did look nice though, good luck luck with the sale.

Helping to spend other peoples money is a hobby. I'm casually keeping an eye out for an SM1120/1334, if one comes along great, if not I'm happy with the SM9".

Well that didn't take long, I must have priced it to low, lol
David_R - the gentleman knows you from one of the other forum sites and I gave him the link to this one. He also bought the 3phase motor that came off my SM.

Yup he’s on hobby-machinist also. Goes by Toolman I think.
Edit: goes by Toolfan.

I just had a look at hobby-machinist, it is toolfan and he seems to be a very happy man. I left him my phone number and told him to call if he has any questions about the lathe.
