Although LeBlond might not have the name recognition (and advertising budget!) of these other venerable brands, we’ve been around a long time.
LeBlond Ltd. is in the lineage of the first company started in 1887 by R.K. LeBlond to manufacture metal cutting lathes. Check out our history here.
Welcome to our blog!
We are taking a modern approach to getting our message out entering our second century of existence! In this blog, we will write about all things relating to MANUAL MACHINE TOOLS.
First of all, what is a blog? A blog, according to Wikipedia, is “a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web.”
This blog will cover news and advice articles (or posts) as well as commentary on machine tools. As this is the official LeBlond site, there will be an emphasis on LeBlond Ltd. products. Our goal, however, is to provide you with great information on machine tools that will aid your purchasing decisions.
There will be enough technical information to keep you informed and enough entertainment value to keep you coming back! We value the feedback of our readers. If you have suggestions for content, let us know! If you have comments, leave them below. Share our content and join us on social media outlets like Twitter, FaceBook and LinkedIn.
Finally, we want to thank you for discovering us. We hope you enjoy our newly redesigned website and blog. Check us out again!

Interested in prices of smaller lathes and if you have any used equipment for sale.
Keith,
LeBlond is focused on selling new lathes. We currently have a sale on our smaller lathes (RKL 1300 and 1500 Series) where you can save up to 20% or as much as $4500 off list price of a manual lathe. The sale goes on until September 15th. It’s like buying a car, I think. Buying new costs a little bit more and you get all the advantages of a spanking new machine! Contact us if you have any additional questions.
