Show us your Logan lathes!

Man that attachment is neat. But do you have to put a riser block on the tool post to use it?

Yes there is a riser for both the tail stock which can be seen in the first picture and the riser for the tool post in the second picture.





The lathe also came with a taper attachment.

Thought I would join in the fun. Here is my Logan 6561H. It is on my short list to give it a complete teardown and rebuild. The spindle bearings are bad and need replacement. I also plan to replace the right side storage compartment with drawers, which should make it more useable.

I'm impressed of the number of Logn lathe owners out there!

I might as well join the fun A couple years ago, I helped my old neighbor clean out his garage. When we finally got to the back of the garage. There was a pile of iron and a bunch of boxes. I knew it was a lathe...just didn't know what make. I asked my neighbor what he was going to do with it and he said it was mine for giving him a helping hand

Anyway, it turned out to be a Logan 1922 (I believe). It was almost completely in pieces, dirty, parts missing. Luckily, the spindle bearings felt good and as it turned out , they were good I found the missing parts and basically rebuilt it. I wish I had taken photos of it in the barn....but I didn't. Anyway, here is the end result....






I did install a VFD to run the original 3 phase motor and I did rebuilt the speed changer box and all the speeds do work, but, I use the vfd for speed changes. Later on down the line, I'll get a compound slide for it. I also would like to get the lathe to cut threads, just have to get a threading dial..someday

My 955, most recently used for making wood chips, so excuse the mess.
