Rubber foot for 820 peg leg?

[HarryJM]

Has anyone found a piece of rubber that will work for the rubber foot support for a Logan lathe (any model that has a peg leg)?

Have you called Logan? They might have them.
Or, maybe a crutch tip...

I believe they used to be sold on e-bay also. If I recall, the material was pretty stiff.

You could probably get away with trimming a hockey puck to the cavity diameter of the leg post and follow with a counter bore to capture the small adjustable metal foot. A plain old wood spade bit on a drill press works OK for cutting the counter bore in hockey pucks. It sure does stink when you cut it though.

If you get a crutch tip for it get black rubber NOT white...
I've got both tips on push sticks and the white(s) has not lasted as well as the black.

I like the hockey puck idea, keep forgetting that. . .

I also like the hockey puck suggestion although this morning I just remember that I have a left over piece of rubber flex pipe connector (Fernco 1-1/2-in x 1-1/2-in x 1.94-in dia Coupling PVC Fitting) that I will try and fabricate a rubber cup from. Its plenty thick enough and I should be able to cut and glue up a cup with the left over piece that I have.

Well I decided to make a rubber cup out of my left over rubber flex pipe connector and while not very pretty it works as intended.
