mrpete, I just got a great deal on a Logan Model 200 serial# 10889. I have several wood lathes and I'm ready to start messing around with metal and couldn't pass up this opportunity. Thank you for your time and effort you put in these videos!
I just bought one of these today!!! My first lathe!!! Was a one owner and hardly used!!! Got a great deal and I'm super happy to have it!!! Keep Rocking it out!!!
HI, I hope you have enjoyed your lathe! I know you posted this comment about 3 years ago but I am looking for my first lathe as well! Do you remember how much you paid for yours? I have been looking frequently for Sheldon, Logan, and Atlas/Craftsman lathes. I am able to find good deals on them but they're either too far away, or sell within an hour. Apparently these old machines are highly sought after! Thanks!😃
Going to look at a 10" logan lathe tomorrow, this was handy as all get out for knowing what I"ll be looking at, because based on what I saw, it was the same lathe. Thanks for posting it 8 years ago. :)
I will hopefully be picking up a logan 820 tomorrow. Really excited. This will be my first "real" lathe. The one i found is a 2 owner unit and looks nearly new. QC gear box. Still had the quill dauber on the tail stock too.. Thanks for all your vids!
I stumbled on this video last night as to see more info on a Logan 850 .. I purchased a 850 in working order yesterday, I’m kinda unsure if one still uses this model and if one would need parts for it .. In all honesty I’m a seller and I like buying out machine shops mainly for small items but it had a price at 500.00 and kinda couldn’t say no even tho it’s a pretty heavy machine as one unit ... I’m kinda confused as to sell it for parts or as one unit .. It had many extras so I know it has plenty of value just unsure if the 850 can be used with the 815 or a 200 or any other model within the generation made ... I really enjoy your videos and any info you can give me on what to do with the lathe as a whole and or part it out .. I could make a video of it if needed as to what it looks like and how it sits at the moment ... I’ve managed to get it home and it’s in my truck at the moment .. Thanks Mr Pete
Thanks for the video. I wish the guy I bought the lathe from had made a video like this. I had completely forgotten about the automatic cross feed function until I watched your video. I was cleaning and was thinking "What's that knob for?" I don't use it that much, so I've fallen out of practice.
I just sold my Logan 821. I used it maybe 20 times over the last ten years. I miss it. I'd like to get a benchtop lathe cause i only really used my logan to turn bushings and it was so overkill... Needed the space and the money. When I first got it I totally disassembled clean and lubed it. Paint was in good shape so. Mine had a quickchange gearbox, it was so convenient. Bought for 900 10 years go, sold for 1200 so I made a little money..
I had a combination of 10" Logans and SB heavy 10's at my first school and we did experience a couple of crunched fingers with that cast iron belt guard, They had been crashed several times over their life and.while not extremely accurate, were fine for student instruction.
517 th 👍's up thanks again for taking us all along with you for the rest of the story 😊 I have picked up on a week ago Slowly getting it all cleaned up and put together so I can use it Tom Porter at adelman engine used to have the exactly one I used it there before Thanks again for the great video
Thank you very much Mr . You should be grateful if you could make a video with this way for us amateurs . Thank you again and wish you Happy New Year with health and happiness .
Thanks. I'm not familiar with your process. Try to find a small lathe such as an Atlas that you can modify. If you get cheap, you can consider it expendable.
Hello Mr. Pete. I have a very similar Logan Lathe which my father bought new in 1941. It needs a lot of care, including replacing the flat belt which I have purchased but not installed. Just looking for a good home for it and a whole bunch of tooling that goes with it, since I no longer have the space. Located in Santa Ana, CA. Let me know if you might know of anyone who might be interested. Thanks, Jack
I just watched your tour of the Logan 10" lathe. I picked up one of these lathes (Model 200) as a gift from a friend yesterday and brought it home. It looks like it's in fairly good shape but it needs a new flat belt. I noticed your lathe had a nice new looking belt. Where can I obtain one of these flat belts?Doug Auburg
Thank you for the tour! Curious if you could speak to the quality of the Logans that were sold through Montogomery Ward. I may have a lead on purchasing one, the model is 64tlc-2130. Thanks!
I just got one of these today but I have to get a motor to make it work. While spinning the chuck by hand, I pulled the knob for the back gears and now the lathe seems to be locked up and I don't see how to disengage it. Any help would be appreciated
Cool, Just about the same as my Logan/wards 84TLC-2136 lathe. (made in 1948) mine is the same, manual change gears, and Think they call it plain apron? Do you think the capability of longitudinal feeding only through the half nut is much of a disadvantage? Our shop teacher in high school was always talking about the QCGB, but I really didn't know what he was talking about.Not interested at the time. Aren't I allowed to post a link here?
My lathes isn’t that quiet. But not that bad. What could I do to make it not as noisy? It’s a south bend and it hasn’t ran in 40 years. But it runs pretty good I must say
Good night I was wondering if you could help me, I want to fix a machine like this. If you could send me pictures of the gears to see how many teeths each gear has.
you make it all so clear. i don't have a lathe as of yet, and when i will have one i'll owe you a great deal. i'm planning on converting the smallest lathe i can find into a glassblowing lathe, the curlpit is the need for both heads to spin the same speed. i will have to buy a used lathe. do you know any small models that might fit this need? i'm also considering building from scratch. it doesn't have to be so accurate as metalworking lathe.
Coming a bit late: you really could make your own, power a shaft under the bed with a vfd motor or a treadmill motor, toothed belt drive to 2 headstocks, build this from a couple of used wood lathes. Dirt cheap.
Need some advice....my friend is selling his used logan 200 lathe ..with orig stand...works ok....no accessories included....no change gears...$350 is that a good price or no?
+John Strange The logan in this video is a MW. I am not familiar with a reywood gearbox, which I think is after market. MACHINE SHOP TIPS #111 Tubalcain Buys Yet Another Lathe-This Time a Logan part 1
What is the listed model number of this lathe? I just bought one that seems to be identical apart from having a larger/deeper chip tray. Mine has a name plate that suggests it's a model #830, but as far as I can tell, the 830 is a turret lathe. I'm just learning these machines and any help would be appreciated.
i enjoy your videos i recently acquired a Logan 840 similar to this one and am interested in learning how to use it. it has a quick change attachment and the plunger for the back gear seems to lock up when pulled out any input would be much appreciated thank you
Thank you for watching. I will soon have my 40 chapter video course on the Logan Lee is available on Vimeo. Many people struggle with the back your plunger. Are youaware that there is a small spring loaded catch underneath the plunger. Get a flashlight and look under the plunger on the front side
Did you know atlas and Logan use the same change gears? Was happy to find out,, the Logan I just bought has broken gear box and I have 2 sets of change gears for my atlas lathes but bought have quick change gear boxes,,
@@mrpete222 use one,,, I was searching Logan change gears and atlas and Logan showed up as same and sure enough Logan changed at banjo to same teeth gears as atlas on my 11 inch Logan and 10 and 12 atlas change gears are listed the same.. look up Logan change gears and watch what comes up..
@@mrpete222 glad I looked was going to have a set printed made my day to find out and I have 2 sets I don't need for my 12 inch atlas with quick change gear boxes
@@mrpete222 you know far more than I Pete,, some changes will set up as drive gear with double key way are as just free spin reduction gear so one are 2 keys won't matter.
Tubalcain- I'm going through a M.W. 04TLC-700A which I recently purchased. It appears that the Saddle Carriage Locking Nut? or Saddle Clamp Nut? Is gone. I see parts on ebay bearing both of those names. It appears Logan does not sell this part anymore, and I'm a bit scared of what they would want for one if they did. My question is, they show a machine screw with a hex head. I was expecting a lever. Isn't this what a person would use to lock the carriage when facing off a piece of material. does it require a wrench every time? Also, did the 04TLC-700A have auto crossfeed?
+mrpete222 I'm just getting my bearings again on the metal lath. Am I correct in thinking that the ability to lock the carriage is essential when facing?
@catman72 If you are dead set on making your own glass lathe look for a lathe for free on craigs list. You'll need to build a new headstock, tailstock and planetary chucks. Most metal lathe headstocks won't go above 1" diameter. About the only usable parts will be the carriage, Ways, and extra gears. You may be better off calling as many schools as you can and ask to talk to the chemist who has been there the longest and see if they have one in storage.
I have the montgomery ward 04tlc-700a which I believe is the same or very similar. I would like to know what are the RPMs for the various combination pulley / gear combinations. Thanks!
I'm picking up a Logan 200 tomorrow. Can anyone chime in on the weight of the machine? I've seen 520 pounds, but unsure if that's the weight of the lathe and stand. Any help is appreciated, as this lathe is in a basement and must come up stairs. Thanks!
Can you send me some pictures of the gears I want to see how many teeths has each gear and also can you send me the picture from the cover to see how I can change the gears.....Thank you
The motor has a v belt pulley...????....it looks like the larger counter wheel or pulley is flat..what are you using...I have one of these and and need to hook a motor up to it...wondering what do I need for the hook up..??
