Nice looking lathe! Have fun with it.

dhidaka,

The part that you need to hold workpieces will probably look one of two ways. Most common is probably sometimes called a boring table. It will look like a wide flat cross slide with dove tail and gib on the bottom and one or two T-slots on top for clamping work pieces. Underneath, it will have a place to attach a cross feed nut. Or it will look like a face plate or the top of a rotary table and the bottom will fit your existing cross slide in place of the existing compound. Atlas made both types, although not many of them. I don't know whether Logan did or not. Maybe Globe made them for the Logan. To use different diameter cutters, it looks like you will need an assortment of bushings.

Also, if you use the gadget, you need to get a spindle nose thread protector.

Attached are some more pics of Globe parts in my box of stuff. Maybe you or someone can help me identify what their intended purpose is?? I know one piece marked "Globe" is an arbor/tail stock support. Also, what looks like a boring table/cross slide the dove tails groove seems to be 3/16" or so wider than what is on my Logan 200. My concern is that I am missing something essential that will prevent the unit from being functional.

Also, if you use the gadget, you need to get a spindle nose thread protector.

Yes, you are right. I have one and should have threaded it on. Thank you for your concern.

Thanks all for help

Photo 1 - no idea.
Photo 2 - three tool posts, probably for the double tool cross slide 4th item I dunno.
Photo 3 & 4 - Double tool cross slide, and a boring table. Note that the feed screw in the first is off center. Might help ID the machine it fits.
Photo 5 - left item looks like a tailstock base for a V-bed lathe. Right one I don't know, maybe some type of follow rest.

If you are interested, there is a "Globe Milling Adapter" group in the Yahoo section that has a super selection of literature, pictures, etc. on the milling attachment. Globe also made cross slides like those in your pictures. What ever you do don't throw any of that stuff out. I suspect it has something to do with the Globe Milling Attachment.

Heres a link to the group. You must become a member of the group to view the stuff that is posted.

Edit:
Those cross slide pieces are the different milling tables used with the attachments. The tool holder looking things are mounted to the table for holding work that is being milled on. The piece with the pillow block looking bearing on it mounts in the tailstock for a outboard support for a milling arbor.
The base that looks like it goes to a tailstock, is for mounting the milling attachment to.

That's a pretty healthy attachment for a Logan 200 lathe! Want to sell it????

Yeh...

I'm sitting here thinking, the addition of all that stuff to a 200 will triple its mass!! I can't imagine it being a truly feasible idea for a little Logan to support. I'm sure it does have value, though.

I got registered with the Yahoo Globe Group. Really cool to have such a group of people interested in Globe products. Lots of good information. Thank you for the tip. The moderator has a YouTube video of a working unit. You might check it out. I shouldn't be too difficult to locate.

I am going to get it up and running when I get a moment. I saw a brochure that the unit was made for Logan 200, so it should work OK. I don't know if I want to sell. Maybe, but will let you know. I imagine shipping would be very expensive.

Cool! Thanks. Original 1940's cost $178. Lots of money at the time.

About $2400 today. It sure looks well built, though.
