I'm definitely ready to improve my indicating ability on the Logan 820, and would like to get a Noga. The issue is space on and around the lathe, which is both why I want the Noga and the right one. The Logan has sloped roofs on the cross-slide, compound and saddle, so my mount will be in the 3" space in front on the base (picture, below). The headstock shroud is available but that's over the chuck and a long way off; I'd prefer to not spend a fortune for a super long Noga. I'm already using a Mighty Mag with 2" indicator to get travel depth, mounted on the ways behind the cross-slide, and when I'm drilling/boring a 3D printed qctp mounted holder, but I'd like more flexibility to just turn an indicator into place when I need one.
So all suggestions are welcomed! I'd love to see pics from Logan 820 owners of what they do, too!
Many thanks, as always,
Tim
