Hi All,
I bought a Logan 200 last year and finally getting around to getting it set up as life has caught up. I'm having a problem with spindle runout and I don't know how to fix it. I measure 0.001" runout on the outside of the spindle but 0.015" runout on the chuck..
The previous owner mentioned he changed a bearing, but I don't know if it was the front or back bearing. Perhaps there could have been an issue when he reassembled it? He included an extra and can post the brand if necessary. I will probably remove the spindle next and inspect all surfaces to see what the problem is.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm hoping the lathe is not totally shot.
Here is a video showing a dial indicator on various chucks and in various places.
