Hey guys,
I'm in the process of cleaning up this lathe and just put the headstock and belts back together. It all runs just fine, but the variable speed mechanism doesn't seem to be calibrated. It stops slowing down before it gets to the lowest setting and isn't as slow as listed, and peaks out before getting to the high end of the dial. I emailed Logan and was told they don't have any more information than what is in the manual, which is confusing. I've attached what the manual says and the drawing included. I also attached a photo of my drive, which looks different than the manual.
Has anyone successfully adjusted this?
Thanks guys,
Dave
