    That my friend is an old timey, leather belt driven, metal lathe that still works just fine. None of that computer controlled, whiz-bang shenanigan, high falutin, bit crunching, tallywager stuff. No sir, none of that stuff.:beer

    No – That is a genuine made in America South Bend lathe. And I think it is old enough to have a screw spindle, instead of a cam lock spindle.

    The one in my picture is a 1942/43 Model 200 series 10" Logan Lathe. Made by the Logan Engineering Co. Chicago Il. And yes, I can still get parts for it. Can't say that about some of those Chinese imports.

    That would be the stuff that MINI rebrands as it's own, thanks Chuck
