Logan Model 200 Latheguard and a couple of other things

[@jasonruch3529]

I just bought a logan 200 with no extra gears..no steady or turn thru..needs a run capacitor and a belt ....ways and lead screw look good. ..everything works. 425$ 😊...i just bought a quick change tool post and used the lathe as a mill by facing the clamping plate in the 4 jaw it came with. I have a 3 jaw too but im a fan of 4 jaws😊 ..it was a great get to know it project

Jon, where did you get the lathe guard? Nice video. I am interested in the Half nut restored

I got it from eBay described as "unclaimed freight." I still came out ahead after buying a new lexan shield. I'm getting set up to be able to measure the actual force applied to the carriage by my Electronic Leadscrew drive. I am also curious to compare the rebuilt half nuts and whether the different friction coefficients will make a measurable difference. I plan to rebuild one each with bronze, Delrin and Ertalyte, then rebuilt the fourth with the one that turns out the best, keep a set as spares, and sell the other two.
