Logans are good machines; similar to a small SB or Sheldon. It looks like the 3-jaw has reversible jaws; a good thing in a small chuck. You'll want a 4-jaw if it didn't come with the package. IIRC, the Jet machines were modeled on the Logan.

I have a logan! Its a little small for my needs at this point but was a perfect first lathe for me. If this is your 1st lathe, May I suggest the SouthBend book "how to run a lathe"? Its a really good place to start...

There is a fella on ebay who has reproductions of the original manuals for many of these old machines. I got my Atlas manual from him.

While change gears are good, a gear box is better!
