Show us your Logan lathes!

Very nice Michael, She turned out very nice indeed. Did you do the re-paint on the nameplate? Mine is going to need some touch as well.

Yeah I did, I used some Testors Blue I had Sitting Around, and some of my Wife's Red Nail Polish!

Looks very good Bartonius. I have the 6560H, posted some pics. Do you have a tapper attachment. Mine did not come with one. i am looking for someone who might have one that I could copy.

No I don't, I don't even have the Compound Rest Base Attachment to Accommodate a Taper Attachment. Do you have a Manual?

 

[richz]

Bartonius, no I do not have a manual.

Anyone know what this might be for?

 

[PIKEMAN]

richz, that little device is a dauber,used to spread lubricant on a dead center. The hole in the tail stock would be filled with a concoction consisting of white lead,bee's wax, eye of newt,etc. The fact that it is still with the lathe is a sign someone took good care of the lathe, as most folks lose those. Replacements are rare, and expensive. If you send it to me, I will make sure it does not get lost.:lmao:

Thanks pikeman, I think I will keep it.

Funny, that's where I store the chuck key. Fits perfectly.

this is my 10" logan 200----I really like to use it but haven't had the time or desire to paint it all up---there is one feature I added that is really handy for moving carriage--I don't use lathe for threading so I have rigged a quick reversible variable speed unit off rear end of leadscrew--it sure works nice and can remove it if I want to cut threads--I have a 9" south bend if need threads cut.
