So I started working on the Logan 1820 lathe, switched motors to a 1 hp I had in the shop. Noticed the pulley coming off the small motor was not factory or close. Both pulleys smaller by far than the 2.3" and 4.28" recommended by Logan. Can't afford a nhew Logan replacement at $169 so I looked online and still don't see anything close. Any thoughts from you folks? making one may be my best option but skills are still weak and time is short.
Second issue, I broke the small flat spring that keeps the belt guard closed. Looked for info on making flat springs and did not find anything that seemed to show actual process. Any ideas on flat spring making?
Third question, what are your thoughts for flat belt replacement with a link-belt?
Lots to do and lots to learn, you folks are a great resource, thank you for your thoughts.
