What lathe?

Can someone point me in the right direction for the tool holders I need? I've read where 1/2" holders sometimes can't go low enough to center on my lathe, so perhaps I should go with 3/8"?
Clausings are a class act!
Call Grizzley or PM Papagrizzley
Indicating is a BIOCH!!!!! A lot of walking....

I wasnt sure what you thought about them. It seems like a decent machine. I know some of the newer stuff is a little cheaper, but Ive had good luck with them. I probably wont use it a ton, but will end up cutting some cylinder bases down right off the bat more than likely.
It is supposed to have a 3 jaw, but he said that he had a 4 and would throw it in. I wouldnt mind having it downstairs but dont want to move it! Makes me wish I had a walkout basement.
Pictures? An old round head?

I ran a 13.5' CNC vertical that would turn 100.

I dont know if anyone else here has delt with shars, but I had good luck with them. I dont know why 3/8 wouldnt suit you.
To move it, either riggers or mount to base, support under stairs, windlass to deadman.
When in doubt........PRO riggers. Things can go SO wrong SO fast!!

No I dont. Ive seen it a few times, a not so close bud of mine has it. Very nice guy, I know he has taken care of it. He also has a smaller Logan, but dont know if it is for sale or not. Both seem to be in decent shape. He takes on some wide work from time to time, but I dont think either one see a lot of use.

LOL!! Yep. I used to set up a part with an 8' OD and a 9" ID that I had to bore a taper in. I would walk backward on the table as I watched the clocks. I would move the chuck jaws by stepping on a lever while I watched the dials. 4 jaws and 4 jacks under the casting. Fun.
Going too fast and BAD things happen. Just turning a piece over. 11,500 lb and one sling slipped. NOTHING in the way.......we were lucky.
But Kool as the devil watching it swing!!! A LOT of deer in the headlights looks.
YOU understand. I saw the "like" on the 0-6' mic set. LOL
But big? Not really. Just saw a guy getting a bid for a 300" Blanchard style grinder.
Or jog and walk on the chuck as it slowly turns watching the indicator. 1" impacts to tie it down.

At first it was strange, but after a while it became so normal to walk backwards on the chuck as it turned. Even remembering to step over the jaws as they pass under you. I never imagined I would be doing setups like that when I was was chucking 1" parts in tech school.
So which holders will I be needing? There are a ton of different holders.
Saturday night on Labor Day Weekend.......
Ain't in a hurry I hope.
I thought you picked out a cheapy till you upgraded?

What was the difference from top of compound to lathe centerline?
