So on my Logan...being a clutch-less / plain apron design the movement of the carriage relies on the half nut. ...
Probably if you're reading this you already know that.
However, on my unit when trying to engage the half nut it doesn't seem to engage right away. Even with a super
high feed rate. I can't imagine trying to single point thread with it like this would even be possible. The lead screw is in decent shape. The threads aren't sharp or excessively worn from what I can see... I recall when I had the half nut off to clean everything up that it didn't appear overly worn either.
So what else could I look at or attempt to measure that could cause this? Or am I just out of my mind? Using other peoples lathes (OPLs) with clutch designs seem to engage quickly...
