NO the od logan is old and the AXA on it has the handle oriented vorrectly, the new lathe is a 12x40 which I imported directly from CHINA, the BXA on it the handle is in the wrong place, the one face on the toolpost (viewing from the top the position on the right side) the toolholder can't be installed when holding a insert holder. I must soon build a rocker style toolpost for this lathe, I do like the versatility and finish gained with hss but also like the cutting ability of the carbide inserts. tom
