    I have a Logan model 1917. It was made in 1957. It does everything I need it to do.
    Best investment ever.

    I started as a turner in 1964 my first machine was a ward7, I left the company after a year and went to another where again I was turning, I have used all the parts you have shown. I moved from the lathe line to the maintainence department where we serviced and repaired all types of machines, I have also seen my fair share of accidents. Safety became a big thing no loose clothing including neck ties( you don’t see them in the machine shop now) no watches or rings. I still like what you have shown. Good stuff.

    Picked up a 1954 11 x 36 Logan a month ago,, love it,,, have 6 atlas lathes I've restored to resell,, there no near the lathe that Logan is,, even a step above Southbend so much quieter then bend,, Logan has parts but you have to be ready to pay up for them for sure..

    Hi Gavin. Thanks for the video...I own a Logan lathe myself - lovely machine!
    You mentioned that it cannot turn metric thread but I have turned many metric threads successfully with my logan. All I did was dividing 25.4 (1inch) by the pitch size in metric for example 1.5mm. That will give me for this example 16.9333. Then select the threads per inch on the lathe that is closest to this number. In the end it will be out by a fraction of a millimetre over an inch. I've found this works brilliantly and enables me to turn both metric and imperial threads successfully.. Cheers!

    Logans are great old lathes. I have a 1946 Model 200 (10x24) that I picked up from a retired machinist almost two years ago. Currently have it set up with an electronic leadscrew of my own design, with a touch screen interface, controlled by an Arduino Mega. Makes all types of threads trivial, and it's really nice to be able to change the feed rate on the fly.

      I did a short video before I installed it on the lathe, at th-cam.com/video/fLjJsTR2b5o/w-d-xo.html. I hope to do one with everything installed and running soon. It has been an interesting, and fun, project so far. Not having a gearbox actually makes it much easier.

  • @baxyskiles857
    @baxyskiles857 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a model 1957 left by my late brother-in-law. It needs quite a bit of love; badly in need of being deep cleaned and removal of surface rust. But, I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

    I have a Logan model 917 11x36 sold new June 1949. I have the receipt that was sent from Logan. I’m not a machinist just a 70 year old mechanic and I love playing with this machine. I’m trying to make some parts for my Craftsman 12x36 I think the vintage is about 1967. And my next project will be to restore a 16x30 Bradford lathe about 1924 vintage.

  • @douglassmith2055
    @douglassmith2055 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, thanks for posting. Nicely done, you have some nice additions to the lathe. Really liked the idea of milling the top of the tail stock with a flat. The model 922 is the earlier version of the 1922 you have is very similar and is currently in "restoration" process in my g-rage. This is a great sturdy well made lathe for home or even light commercial duty. The beds are not hardened (usually) so if looking at a used one put a dial on the tail stock and measure the ways the carriage rides on for wear by sliding it along the bed. The tail stock ways are not usually worn.
    As a little tip, when parting off, if a center hole is available, use a small dowel, drill rod, or similar, to support the part from inside the bore when parting, Bare skin is asking for it.

    Hello, I have a Logan 820 and according to the serial number it was built in 1945. I've been cleaning it up and replacing some damaged gears but I really haven't attempted to use it yet because of my lack of knowledge. Short of going to a trade school are there any videos out here that will teach me the basics? What I haven't figured out yet is how and when to use the back gears and bull gear with retainer. Any suggestions would be awesome. BTW - great video I will save if for future reference. Thank you.

  • @Robert-ko6wr
    @Robert-ko6wr 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What is the status of your Logan lathe? Know you upgraded so did you retire the Logan or sell it? You are my favorite machinist because you take a tremendous amount of time to explain why and what you are doing. You make your videos as if each one is a story. You are a very good story teller! Thank you for sharing.

    @nikmills 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the opportunity to buy a really clean Delta 11" lathe. I like machinery and I build a lot of things, but I know very little about lathes. This one is clean at a whistle with lots of parts. No taper attachment that I can find. It seems like a deal at $1000. Just wondering if I don't get into it if I can sell it one day. Is there a demand for these old Deltas in great shape?

  • @RickA743
    @RickA743 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video thanks for sharing. Beautiful machine, I also have a Logan a 1942 model Logan 820, unfortunately it doesn’t have the collets and is probably a little small for gunsmithing, but it does what I need. I’m a Bladesmith / knifemaker and a shooter / reloader. Have long wanted to do some gunsmithing - it’s not easy to study or qualify here in South Africa unfortunately. I would love to get new machines like your Precision Matthews lathe / mill but those sort of machines are prohibitively expensive here is South Africa. Even the Dillon reloading gear is scary expensive here. Thanks again. Enjoy your video channel

    I have a logan . My dad removed it from the engine room machine shop of one of his tow boats and completely rebuit it over 6o years ago. I called logan in chicago to order a new belt , which is all it's ever had done other than lubricant. They said it was built in chicago in 1948. I told them, so was i. My sons get it next.

    • @learnaswegofarm2227
      @learnaswegofarm2227 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was just thinking the same thing! I really don’t see the advantage to spending $10k on a lathe thats going to give you .0005 over what you already have. Especially when you have “The real gunsmith” not even indicating in a barrel just turning it concentrically in a precision chuck and a steady rest, then chambering it. Not even using a floating ream holder. Am i missing something? Don’t get me wrong Gavin i love your work and your channel! Absolutely awesome content thank you! Can you please explain what makes that more precise than the Logan?

  • @jerrymont2595

    Hey Gavin, Would you please give me your opinion about the top 5 metal cutting oils or the top metal oils thats temperature insensative and water resistant (ie., either temperature [the most important] and water, or both)? Your opinion is very important to me...I can remember watching your videos moving that machine into your shop and before

    Hi Gavin, a friend gave me a Logan Lathe but dismantled it without my presence. So, I am tasked with figuring everything out from scratch. Is there a manual available out there somewhere? I'll continue watching TH-cam videos as often as I can. Wish there were remedial classes in lathe operation. Then...find a mill! (Been reconditioning bench views). Thanks

    I've had its older flat belt head stock Brother ,for forty years. Its always been a great lathe for me , the 5C collet lever system is the best . I had a Sheldon at one time but boat fever got me and well worse mistake selling it. It to made money with its lever collet and repeatability doing parts . Don't think ill sell my old baby even if I want another lathe.
