Hi all my Heros I have very limited experience with a lathe so bear with me please. A friend gave me a Logan 820 from 1947. It has been siting for ~20 years. It was used for hobby use its whole life. Dirty but no rust. I am cleaning it up and learning how it is built. It has some minor issues...

I currently own two Logan Lathes. An early 922 and, as of now, the oldest known 6560 to still be kicking around. Both of these machines I use regularly in my shop. I bought my first Logan, the 6560, about 2 years ago. I stripped it down completely, inspected it, painted it, replaced worn parts...

Like my title says, did Logan put shims under their headstocks? I took my lathe apart to rebuild it and noticed that there was a 0.005" shim under one corner of the headstock on the flat sides. I'm trying to figure out if someone who owned the machine before did this or if it was from factory.

It seems fair to say that the pawl that holds the backgear rack out on 10" Logan lathes was under designed. Mine came broken, and it seems to be a common problem. Has anyone repaired one in a more durable fashion that worked out well?

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you are all having a great Saturday so far! I was digging through the tools that I received with my lathe and found this. I first was thinking a boring device of some type but I think this is for a mill.....I would love for someone else to chime in and educate me...

Hello everyone. I recently bought a new to me Logan Ward 10" Lathe with a TON of tooling. Everything from extra chucks, HSS blanks & cutters, face plates, collets, center drills, and lots and lots of other tooling and goodies. Anyways included with the lathe is a collet closer and collets...

I am now the proud caretaker of a '45 Logan 825, SN 28621. This lathe started it's life in the Pitcairn rail yard where my grandfather worked. When they downsized the machine shop, he bought the lathe off PRR for scrap price. It lived in his basement, and then a relative's workshop. The lathe...

I just acquired a logan model 957 lathe. Prior to this lathe, I have using a nine inch South Bend, so this is quite an upgrade. Everything seems to be in good working order. It has a three phase motor with a 220 v converter which seems to work fine. Came with a bunch of accessories...

In this thought exercise/potential reality, imagine that most everything else is absolutely the same like the drive train, the condition, the tooling, the price, etc...everything relevant is equal in this alternate reality and you're given the choice between a Clausing 4912 and a Logan 10...

I think i need an AXA for my 10". there seems to be an incredible variance in price ranges. I want something quality that will be a pleasure to use but not break the bank if at all possible. I am currently a machinist student and am a little naïve to what's what with tool holders at the...

recently acquired a logan 912 in pieces at an estate sale very cheaply. was mostly complete and having assembled it, i am missing a few small pieces and a few bits of information. The spindle seems to be missing two washers, part number LA-1016. i believe they are cone shaped washers that...

Just floating an idea here. I've gotten it into my head to try building an extended T-slot cross slide for my Model 200 based on Myford's design. To make building it "easier" I've made the circular compound T slot a two-piece design. I would also like to mount a magnetic encoder under the...

Actually, my headline should read, "My Free Lathe, Thanks To Moderator/Staff Member Jim Dawson." Thanks to Jim, I am now the owner of a complete 1941 Logan lathe! An older couple is selling their house, here in San Francisco, and were desperate to get rid of their metal lathe out of their...

Hi All, I bought a Logan 200 last year and finally getting around to getting it set up as life has caught up. I'm having a problem with spindle runout and I don't know how to fix it. I measure 0.001" runout on the outside of the spindle but 0.015" runout on the chuck.. The previous owner...

For those with both a gearbox and the standard gear set this shows the setup for cutting metric threads. Most are within 1 part in 10,000 a few are within 1 part in a 1000. It is an unlocked spreadsheet so you can play with your own values.

Anybody out there with a 920 or a 922 Logan that can tell me how many teeth the reversing gears have? Also, does anybody know if the DP on the gears on the 11" 920 is 16, or 20? Thanks all Cody

I have this ancient three jaw scroll Chuck with no real markings on it. I tried to use it and the run out was absolutely terrible it was actually visible. It measured on the order of 7 thousands. It came with it lathe parts that I purchased and I didn't really inspect it before I threaded it on...

Hey all, I'm looking to buy my first lathe. I need opinions on brands people prefer and general pricing. I'm familiar with larger Lathes, but I cannot afford or fit one into the space I have in my townhouse. I've scoured Craigslist and several other online buying networks to try and find...
