    How to buy a 4 jaw chuck

    Hello all. I recently bought and refurbished a 1953 Logan 1922 which is a 11” lathe. It came with an 8” 3 jaw chuck but I’d like to purchase an 8” 4 jaw chuck for it as well. I’m not doing precision work so I will be staying under $200. My question is, does anyone know what bore size and thread...

    Help newbie understanding quick change gearbox brass tag.

    Hello all. I am new to lathes and just bought my first “real” lathe a month ago. I got a 1953 Logan 1922 which is an 11” lathe. I am trying my hand at threading and I cut my first set today and I am happy to report it was mildly successful. They turned out very nicely. However I am having a hard...

    Bought 1st lathe, Logan 1922, have questions.

    Thank you all for the information! It was well appreciated. I have another question about the chuck. I would like to buy a 4 jaw chuck for it but I have an issue with the thread pitch on the spindle. I know it’s 8” with a 2 1/4” opening, but when I try to measure the thread pitch I am coming up...

    Ok thank you. And that’s fine with me, if it does what I need it to do I am ok with that. There are some parts to it that I have no idea what they are. This is my first lathe and I’m very much green to it.

    So is it worth anything or is it rubbish? I paid $100 for it the way it sits. I have it all torn apart right now repairing things and cleaning up the rust. Being that it is very rare, it could be worth a mint or could be just a $100 lathe.

    I was afraid of that. The half nut is totally worn out. It is made of brass with aluminum on the inside. I believe the bolts at mostly 1/2”x12 like you said. So you are thinking this is an early 1900’s lathe?

    I’ve been trying to get better pictures up but having a very difficult time doing so. I am usually pretty decent at figuring these things out but this site seems harder than usual. I will keep pecking away at it though. I have many more pictures to load.

    Thank you again for the responses. Apparently this is a VERY uncommon lathe if google can’t find it. I’m just wondering how hard it will be to find parts?

    Hello all! I just purchased an antique lathe from a coworker and I cannot find any information on it whatsoever. The name is right on the side of it but google finds nothing about it. The name is “J&G Hodson phila”... I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this or maybe it’s under a...
