Long time lurker and just registered.
Looking to purchase a 10 or 11” swing metal lathe with a max distance between centres of 36”
Must haves:
-min 1” spindle thru bore.
- Steady or follow rest ( prefer both)
-110 v
-Power feed for cross slide
Interested in USA made like a Logan, but a Busybee / King Canada / Precision Mathew’s in no particular order would be ok too.
Prefer a gear box for threading.
Max budget is $3k.
Have tried to purchase from Facebook marketplace and kijiji but vendors don’t respond to questions for some reason so thought I would try here.
Sold my busy bee BL 227 a few years back as ran out of room and now have moved and have some more space.
Local to Calgary but willing to travel up to 200k if lathe is in good condition and price is fair.
Thanks.
