Logan 6561h Compound Dial

[RandyM]

Randy in the picture below the cross feed dial there is a set screw. Do you know what it might do?

I am thinking it is the dial lock. My machine has the lock as a bolt radially on the dial. I can get you a pic.

Rich here are some pics of my dials and screw locks. Hope this helps.

As promised, here is a PDF of the drawing.

Thanks Randy. Last night I made a lock for the compound dial. I used the taped hole on the front of the handle assembly instead of the one on the outside edge.

I like it Rich. I need to make or buy some nice thumb knobs for mine as well. The fasteners just don't do it. Since you already had the hole there that is a good place for it. I will probably just leave mine radially located. Looks like you put a set screw in the unused hole, good idea. Did you make your thumb screw out of brass?

Yes made it out of brass and used a 10-32 screw for the threads.
