Sir, I really appreciate your videos! Thank you for uploading! I am a CAD designer and now I am entering the world of CNC, but I started from my father's workshop. Good to see how you handle the traditional machines. I hope never fade out the traditional lathe, because working on it is really the essence of the mechanic.
I purchased a 1946 Logan 825, earlier this year. It is great to see you explain how your lathe works, as it has some features very similar to the 825. Always enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing you knowledge, technical skills and master teaching methods with your viewers. Best wishes from Buffalo, NY Roy
Thanks Mr. Pete. I've watched all of your shop videos. Learned a lot. I'm in the middle of restoring an early Logan 200; #15235, 1942 as near as I can figure. It was little used, but beat to death by ignorant users when it was. I have been busy stripping off the layers of old paint and locating used parts and new bushings for various assemblies. Your video will be a useful reference when I go to put the apron back together. It already reminded me of things I'd forgotten since I tore it apart!
Currently cleaning and tuning up my Logan/Monkey Ward lathe. It's my first machine lathe. Your series is worth truck loads to me. Thanks for posting this stuff.
Wow, Amazing what you can learn from just a few minutes with a disassembled piece of machinery and the right person explaining it. Now it makes sense. Thanks!
Thanks for your informative video. I bought a Wards 10" a few years ago. It's a very nice little lathe and very precise. Hope you have as much fun as I have using it! You are a great teacher!!!
Thanks for that detailed explanation of the various parts with an explanation of what they do and how they relate to one to another. You mentioned that it was very dirty, How and with what did you clean it up please? e.g. tools, equipment, solvents and what you do to prevent/control rusting? .
nice to see what you do. i work all types of cnc lathes, have used colchesters, small and big, great to see someone able to do a rebuild, been there, done that. keep it up
So THAT's why it's called the Half Nut lever! I've heard you mentioning the half nut lever in your other videos and I allways thought it was some kind of lever used when making nuts on the lathe :D Sometimes the answer is too simple and obvious. Thanks for your hard work on these educational and entertaining videos!
Being more familiar with South Bend lathes, I noticed what might be a reason that high schools chose SB lathes over the Logan. It appears that with the Logan, it would be possible to engage BOTH the split nut and the power cross feed simultaneously! Oh what fun that would be for the teacher! Thanks for all the great videos!
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately :)
Another great video, hope your students appreciated your vast knowledge as much as your subscribers do. Its a shame many schools are replacing metal shop with in my opinion less than pertinent curriculms
Hello Mr. Pete, would you consider uploading this free 'Building a stirling engine' video to UA-cam since the LFE site is gone? I really like your engines videos, I built a wobbled following your instructions and it ran pretty well. Thank you.
Another marvellous video, Makes me, want to buy a lathe and put some long forgotten skills to use. I trained on a Boxford (U.K , South Bend copy) then Colchester and Harrison professional lathes.
Thank You for your videos Mr.Pete.I hope to find and purchase an entry level metal working lathe for my future home shop.Due to you, ADAM BOOTH, Keith Fenner and others I really enjoy learning and the turning of different materials. You are a great guy for shareing your knowledge.- Keith Kelly Columbus,Ohio
When you make threads you need to know where to catch up for the next cut.. like starting all over at the same spot. The dial is like a clock that you can follow to "catch the tread" so you don't cross-thread.
This is very interesting. I have spent years of my life as a lathe worker, but since time = money, I never saw in the inner part of a lathe. I'm typing this while being 1:35 minutes in the video
hey friend i was reading the bible the other day and it turns out that wanna the first names in the bible is tuble cain the bronze smith.. very neat to learn that
I'm in need of both miter gears that power the cross feed. These parts #s LP-1212, LP-1213. Mainly LP-1213. They are very expensive to buy new from Logan. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I found where the lost gear goes that I found floating around in my apron......looks like it is the cross feed gear..not sure how it came off of the crossed screw....but anyways..thanks for this video I know where it goes know...
any and every home in the midwest will be invaded by them around summer time: they chirp from a secluded unreachable location and go silent as you come near, so you can't find them-pretty maddening..
Long time listener first time caller... Mr. Pete, I'm helping to repair a worn-out Logan 912 half-nut. The shop manager is having us pursue the bronze sleeve method that UA-camr Build Fix Create (ua-cam.com/video/2eTOeSuq5L4/v-deo.html) has shown, but I'm wary of relying solely on epoxy to secure it to the half-nut bore. With your Logan experience what did you do to repair a Logan half-nut? Thanks for any input you have!
@@mrpete222 Thank you for responding! I was told our Logan was a instructional lathe at a lab at University of Arizona for more than 30 years. It hasn't always been treated well. I hope I can give it a new life in our maker space.

Hey, I got a code to watch your LFE Lathe video from Keith. I just wanted to say thanks. It is a very generous gift.
Thank You for another Great lesson I liked learning how that works
Thanks for your informative video. I bought a Wards 10" a few years ago. It's a very nice little lathe and very precise. Hope you have as much fun as I have using it! You are a great teacher!!!
This very helpful and thanks again for another great video. I acquired an old Atlas Pick-O-Matic and it needs a good cleaning before firing her up.
Thanks Mr Pete another winner of useful info

Thanks for that detailed explanation of the various parts with an explanation of what they do and how they relate to one to another.
You mentioned that it was very dirty, How and with what did you clean it up please? e.g. tools, equipment, solvents and what you do to prevent/control rusting? .
Hello Lyle, I always enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job!
Thank you very much
nice to see what you do. i work all types of cnc lathes, have used colchesters, small and big, great to see someone able to do a rebuild, been there, done that. keep it up
Thanks for a great video.
Great video. I like to know how the machinery that I'm operating works. Will you be showing us how the transmission works?
So THAT's why it's called the Half Nut lever! I've heard you mentioning the half nut lever in your other videos and I allways thought it was some kind of lever used when making nuts on the lathe :D Sometimes the answer is too simple and obvious.

As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
Nice info! thanks for the video.
I can't wait until you make a video on making large dials for this lathe.
great video -- thank you -- you answered all my questions about that mechanism and more!!
Not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all the new series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately :)
@Jared Robert Yup, I've been using Instaflixxer for months myself =)

Very nice demo, shows clearly how it all works.
Mr. Pete,
Will a quick change gearbox fit a logan 200? Thanks for the video!
Yes, but there are various length leadscrews. You must have the correct one.

Keith Kelly Thanks Keith. Good to hear you are getting a lathe.
Keep watching

That cricket sound was ridiculously loud :)

Yes--search for this video.
SOUTH BEND LATHE demo on apron parts by TUBALCAIN
wow...thanx for dissecting a lathe for us...always wanted to know the bits and peices
ETA Are you going to make more videos like these?
Nice video. Very informative on how that does what it does.
Matt Wilkins Thanks for watching.
This is very interesting.
I have spent years of my life as a lathe worker, but since time = money, I never saw in the inner part of a lathe.
I'm typing this while being 1:35 minutes in the video
Do you have any video showing one that have the clutch?
What's the thread chasing dial used for? To me it looks like a useless part.......
Mr. Pete, Is there a way to lock the chuck to the spindle so I can reverse the Logan lathe during metric threading?
No, and if you ever find one, let me know
@@mrpete222 You know what that means…. I must go buy another lathe… Lol. Thanks..
hey friend i was reading the bible the other day and it turns out that wanna the first names in the bible is tuble cain the bronze smith.. very neat to learn that
Are any of the gears on the apron of your logan lathe available for sale any where? particularly the bevel gears for the power cross feed?
Sorry, I was forced to sell my Logan lathes
How much do you know about the Sheldon's
ahh cricket was smashed at 4:15
I'm in need of both miter gears that power the cross feed. These parts #s LP-1212, LP-1213. Mainly LP-1213. They are very expensive to buy new from Logan. Any help is greatly appreciated.
eBay is your only hope
Thanks for the reply! I can find one of the gears on eBay but not the one I really need. The 1213 gear.
Very interesting thank you
,,, great lesson today,, A+++++
I found where the lost gear goes that I found floating around in my apron......looks like it is the cross feed gear..not sure how it came off of the crossed screw....but anyways..thanks for this video I know where it goes know...
any and every home in the midwest will be invaded by them around summer time: they chirp from a secluded unreachable location and go silent as you come near, so you can't find them-pretty maddening..
Makes me laugh every time!!!
must be off on your numbers lol you missed video # 114 hehe keep up the good work.
just a paint brush , mineral spirits, air, brake cleaner
Thanks
Lyle, step on that damn cricket!
4:14, must have found the cricket.
Crickets are said to bring good luck...but they sure are irritating to listen to! LOL
tubaicain you have a cricket! good video though.
Your the third to mention it. I have killed 6 of them recently. Never heard a one--with my hearing.
ye smash that cricket already ...
I want to watch hobbing macjine process
