Hi...I have a Powermatic-Logan Metal Lathe made by
Powermatic/Houdaille of McMinnville,Tenn. Does anyone know if they are
still around? 

  Also, could you recommend a good company to supply lathe cutting
tools, drills, etc. ?

  Thanks!

Powermatic is still in McMinnville, TN they are a major mfg. of 
woodworking equipment. I don't know if they still make metal working 
machines or not. A quick phone call should answer that question.

Currently, I (and many others, I think) would recommend MSC - they have 
nearly everything in their huge catalog, and their prices are reasonable
and their service excellent.  KBC is good, and they have local offices in
many cities.  JTS has special sales several times a year, and the prices are
rock bottom on sale items - especially end mills, but I think they have
lathe tools, too.
