Some Logan Lathe Pictures & Tips

Post by Conrad_R_Hoffman »

Hi,

I finally added some pictures of my Logan 211 lathe and a few mods to my website. Go to http://www.conradhoffman.com then the HSM page and click on Logan. There's also some other useful stuff like threading and change gear spreadsheets there and on the downloads page.

Best,
Conrad

I enjoyed viewing the photos of your Logan. I have the same machine, minus the drip pan and legs. You are correct - the originall carriage lock bolt is a square head. I like the handle you made for this. I am going to make a Loop collet chuck for mine. I have purchased the kit and castings from Metal Lathe Accessories. Mine is turning a taper which I need to correct. I suspect that I may have to shim the head. I had that off when I was replacing a broken bull gear. Looks like we're using the same automotive flat belt as well. I modified my tailstock by adding a tang lock to prevent my larger MT2 drill bits from spinning. I also added a Shumatech DRO-350. Thanks for sharing the photos and words.
