Seems like a good price? I don't know much about these lathes

Yea that won't last long

If only I were closer...

Why people do not say what they are selling is beyond me. What micrometers? Cheap China or Starrett?

I assume they are cheap so maybe $400. Which means lathe is $1800. Also size of the lathe - I am guessing it is a 8" swing and 15" between centers from number 815. Again why not say it - I goggled for 5 min and could not find the detail...

I am unsure about price of 1800 - see how much SB lathes of same size go on sale at Regal tomorrow.

Seller probabaly doesn't know, that's what I got from the add

The model 815 is a 10x24.
The model numbers for Logan have no relation to the capacity of the machine.
@David_R8 - the machine has a counter shaft so it may be deeper than you want.

What does “has a counter shaft” mean?

 

[phaxtris]

And she's gone

 

[YotaBota]

Counter shaft is the pulley system behind the head stock that connects the motor to the spindle with a belt.

Does that help?

Of course, you don't have to mount the countershaft behind the lathe...... I saved a lot of space by moving mine upwards.....

Now if you extend the shaft over to the mill, and then to the,,,,,,,,,, and then to the ,,,,,lol
I wonder if @David_R8 is saying to himself "why didn't I think of that!" LOL

If I wasn't 6'5" +/- and the ceiling wasn't a little bit under 8' I would love to setup a full lineshaft...... How cool would a full lineshaft powered by an old hit n miss off to the side of the shop.....
