How To: Logan Lathe Pneumatic Tracer Attachment Part 1

[@BillyTpower]

great video, one thing you can do to check your threads is to remove the chuck with your part still in it, I hope this helps.

I used to be a toolmaker, and I respect your work.

[@BuildFixCreate]

That means a lot to me! Thank you very much

Dennis Schoessow Great channel and content, but also your camera work, sound and editing are superb. You got me hocked!

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thank you!

Glad I found your channel. I'm rebuilding a Logan 200 at the moment and this looks interesting. Cheers!

Nice work.

Learning all this and restoring a power Kraft lathe (Logan). How deep do you advance between cuts when threading? Great channel!

I usually feed in about 5 thou at a time on the compound when I am starting out and then from about halfway and on I slow that down to 2-3 thou at a time. Thanks! Glad you like it!

Picking a real nit here, but that slag coating on your flat stock identifies that as hot roll not c.r.s.. Any time you have a choice, always avoid hot roll as that slag coating is very hard and will eat up tooling. Really like the attachment design.

Yep good call. Sometimes my talking gets ahead of my thoughts, talking to a camera isn't exactly natural to me haha. Thanks for watching!

Alternately , if you don't have cold rolled on hand , a Vinegar bath will take that scale off in a couple days time .

Awesome job. Stealing this for my lathe ;) What is the part number for that air cylinder?

[@BuildFixCreate]

Glad you like it, steal away! haha I looked all over it but the part number must be worn off, sorry
