I’m planning on making a digital readout for the tailstock of both of my Logan lathes, using a similar setup as the Bridgeport Series 1 Mitutoyo quill kit.
Essentially it’s a dial caliper body mounted to the tailstock that can extend the movable jaw outwards with the tailstock quill.
Has anyone had success in making something like this?
One thing I wish my Logans had was a grafuted tailstock dial. I’m doing a short run production job this week and it slows me down quite a bit having to pull the tailstock away to run a a caliper in to measure depths
