Built in 1953. Owner calling it a 936 but cannot find that listed. I believe it to be the 935-2 pedestal model. 11x36. I am not going to taper on it so length not an issue. Not the heaviest machine but very well tooled. Private owner refurbished. 6 hrs from me so I have to be trusting as far as condition. Parts available a plus. Drawbacks to Logan's ? Long drive hope it is what he says. Any advice appreciated. Thanks......Kyle
Logan lathe 935-2

- Start date
It appears to be Dick. That was my first question. He was at work when we talked. Will check when he gets home.
I have a logan, as far as i remember none of them have a large spindle bore.
Thanks KJ. That is the table that I had looked at for the 936 model and it does not list one. Pics look to be 1 3/8" spindle. But not finding model number is throwing me. Model # is not legible in pics. He should be able to clear things up as to model # and spindle bore. I should have drove 11 hrs one way and bought yours...........Kyle
Owner got back to me. It is the 935-2 with 1 3/8 inch bore.
I did Dale. From what I have read it is not preferred but is it a reason to avoid the lathe for cue building?

A flat-belt drive is acceptable for cuemaking.
It's not like we routinely take a .060" cut in stainless.
The drawback is not the belt itself but rather the coupling.
Over-center tensioners tend to stretch the anchoring of the coupling.
Adjust the belt tension without stretching and it will last forever.
Or close to that.

Hell, I wish my lathe was variable speed and bottom-mounted motor.
I wish I could afford the Logan and the heavy 10 like Larry :smile:
I am cheap! Chances are, I have less in both mine than the seller wants for the Logan you are looking at. One reason I got the heavy ten was because it was a flat belt, dirty and a buddy deal!
Good luck!

That is up to you, of course, but if this your first and/or only lathe it is not as
convenient as a grooved pulley version.
IMHO - Unless this the deal of a lifetime, and it doesn't sound like it is,
I would look longer and harder for one with grooves.
YMMV

Thank you for the advice..........Kyle
