Been machining for over 30 years, started in the US Navy in 1984. I have always wanted a lathe for my home shop because I quite frankly enjoy making things...
Finally got a deal on a Logan, Model 820 so says the tag but it has a turret instead of the normal tail stock... Does that change its designation? Serial number 42725.
No biggie, First photo is what it looked like when it arrived, second is its current state. I have taken the saddle apart, cleaned everything and reassembled it.
I have designed a taper attachment, but not by myself, I saw an individual on Youtube and his idea was spot on perfect, so I started whittling parts at work, only lacking 2 more pcs to complete it so I can mount it. I will post photos after it is test fit.. At this time not sure I have to have a tail stock, but we will see.
