Reply:that lathe looks almost identical to the one i bought and am picking up this week, its a south bend workshop 9 x 36...
Reply:Did you get that from the guy off Atlantic in Baldwin?  I've got a friend who got a SouthBend 9 from him.  Looks like you got a good start on tooling.  I love my Aloris toolpost!

Reply:Yeah, he was very nice.  I don't know where he finds the stuff, but he seems to move a lot, and does a nice cleanup job on everything.  I like the black paint details where they belong.Do I see a collet nose?  I don't see the closer.  I do see a whole lot of fluorescent bulbs though.Its funny, I almost never use my steady rest, and use my follow rest even less, even though I took the time to made ball bearing guides for each.I think I've got the same emco toolpost.  Its the same size as the AXA.  Very good choice.  I just added a boring bar and some carbide holders to get me more options.The Logan can be VERY difficult to tell from a SB.The belt guard casting on the logans is always flat, and it tapers on the SB.  The SB also has a clutch on the carriage for a power-feed (instead of just being fixed into a threading feed), but the compound, tailstock and bed are quite similar.
