I have a few questions about my Logan 2525 lathe.
I bought this lathe in January this year, 2013. The guy brought it to me about 2 months ago. Yeah, I am in a big hurry! :rofl:
I hooked it up 2 weeks ago.
A few questions, and I did purchace the manual from Logan. How do you remove the chuck? I got the spanner wrench. I
assume,,,,, where did I hear that before? I assume I put the spanner wrench on behind the chuck to hold the chuck from turing clock wise
and unscrew the chuck. Simple if that is correct. I just wanted to get your guys view if that is right.
ALSO a real big problem I ran into is the power feed lever. It will not engage!:angry:
I ran it about 2 weeks ago and the half nut lever worked fine. So I can thread but the power feed will not engage, with the half nut out.
It will only move a little in both directions.
Up:
And down:
So what is the best way to tear into this? And what maybe wrong? Take the lead screw mount off at the tail stock end
and remove the whole carriage or tear it apart on the lathe?
Thanks,
John
