Repairing a Steady Rest for the Logan Lathe

[@MrPragmaticLee]

Great job on the restoration/repair. I was holding my breath as you were driving the pin out with no support between the flanges, glad they didn't break on you. 😃

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks! I'm glad they didn't break too!

[@Rubbernecker]

Haha, I was thinking the same!

[@iounatta]

Nice job and your Logan sounds nice and tight. Not all worn out and rattling like half I see on KZbin. My Hardinge HLV-BK needs a steady and I'm thinking of using a Logan casting and adapting to suit. Maybe incorporate bearings on the fingers while I'm at it. I have the dovetail bed but shouldn't be too hard to make a base to work. Just have to keep the centers aligned.

[@skiptracer8703]

Very nice job, looks great. Wish my 820 looked as good when it's all clean. Thanks for sharing

Nice work, I love how brass looks so nice when it’s machined!

[@larryschweitzer4904]

Very nice.

[@jonrbryan]

Nicely done. I was fortunate in finding one that didn't need so much work.

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks! Thats probably the better way to go but its not easy to find them without a crazy price tag

[@lwoodt1]

[@BuildFixCreate]

the Brass master. .... love the brass all over everything

Nice work! When I mill slots I like to plunge mill each end through then mill out the slot. sometimes I'll plunge mill the whole slot stepping over a little at a time. Just seems quicker that way.

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks, I'll try that next time.

[@BUILDNIGHT]

looks great. fun project making old things new again. what I like to do.

[@Rubbernecker]

Beautiful!!

[@donswords6671]

Very cool!! Happy with the Logan? I'm looking to upgrade my mini lathe. Also looking at a Clausing as I have a Clausing mill.

[@BuildFixCreate]

Very happy with my Logan

Thanks for watching!

[@baughbLabs_redux]

Really like the channel. Good to see just machining from a Machining KZbin channel : )

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like the channel!

[@JourneymanRandy]

Nice video. Thanks

[@plasticonoman]

Just found your channel, great videos! You should do a little shop tour!

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks Joe! Glad you like the videos.

[@johnstrange6799]

Really nice. Great job.

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thank you!

[@Rubbernecker]

Another great video! You have inspired me to restore a lathe. What year and model is your Logan?

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks Scott! You definitely should do that, its a great learning process. I think mine is a 1942 or 43 Logan model 200 which someone later retrofitted with a quick change gear box.

[@TimNummy]

Great restoration! What kind of paint did you use?

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks! Its Rustoleum oil based enamel. Just brush it on with a small brush - lays out pretty smooth.

[@DrT_ASMR]

came out real nice dude

[@BuildFixCreate]

Thanks!

[@paulbonefas4903]

What's the make / model of your mill?

[@BuildFixCreate]

Mystery mill! Craigslist find, it has no tags on it

[@clydedecker765]

Wouldn't there be cam rollers on the fingers? Like the one at 7:20 of this ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKDOdKyaetZ9h6c

[@BuildFixCreate]

Yeah there could be, both types are out there. Thanks for watching!
