The Home Machinist!

I have the same machine. Been using it for about three years now with no regrets.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too.

Some good belt info on a Logan 200 here. http://www.askmisterscience.com/bridgeport/belt.htm

I've just rebuilt 11" Logan and the manual suggests about 1.5" deflection in the middle of the drive belt. It might be beneficial for you to pick up a reprint of the owners manual online. It'll give you specs such as lube points, adjustments, and general operating procedures. They're about...

These guys usually have some drops scattered around in the back.

My concern was that the outboard spider is very light and maybe somehow that'd be an issue. The weight is a non-issue. I have one on the outboard of my Nardini that might even weigh less than yours. It's only purpose is to radially adjust the OD of the barrel to get a couple inches of the bore runn...

Hi, I am a new guy here, can someone tell me where I can get those pin gauges used to indicate the bores... I have been looking for that setup.. Thanks mtnsmith........
