Logan Powermatic #1

Re: Logan Powermatic

Thanks. I ran royal purple in a HD I had and really liked it. FWIW I found some more info on lubing the QCGB here:

Re: Logan Powermatic

I read the thread in your link, and it was interesting. These old ~ 1945 vintage lathes have survived more abuse and poor quality lubrication (or worse yet, no lubrication) than we will ever subject them to. Modern lubricants are light years ahead of what these machines ran on for decades.

When I replaced the gear in my QCGB and used RP as an assembly lube, it was so slippery that I had a devil of a time hanging on to the pieces while assembling them.
