New-to-me Logan

[RandyM]

Pretty cool! I never knew Logan had a lathe that used an L00 chuck mount. How long's the bed? I'm going to start looking for a lathe with a longish bed that uses the L00 mount so I can keep using the existing tooling I have from my Traytop.

All of their larger machines are L00. I have a 6561H and it is an L00.

That's a really nice looking lathe.

Just wondering what sort of horsepower on that machine?

It's 1 HP 3 phase but I'm using a VFD.

Variable speed and VFD - that should give you all kinds of speed control.
Also, just noticed the large dials on the cross feed and compound - very nice.

The handle below the start button (left side of the picture). Downward motion cuts the power. Further downward pressure applies the mechanical brake.

Very nice. I'm repairing a 11 X 36 Logan model 922, circa 1952 that I got cheap (by Oregon standards). More basic lathe than yours, but nice speed range for its era/design, ways look good and you can use 5C collets. Have replaced spindle bearings and am making gear to replace broken one in QC box.
