I have a Logan model 1875 9" lathe that I suspect needs adjustment. I've already replaced a couple of the transmission gears, -- TWICE!
I confess to being spoiled by the features of a commercial level lathe at the shop! Set the stop for the longitudinal travel, start the cut, and you can go do something else while the cut is being performed. Not so with my own smaller lathe. Machining to a shoulder - can be maddening! Too slow on the release leaver, and I've created another repair job for myself.
Unfortunately, I only have a parts manual for this machine, so I cannot tell if there is a clutch adjustment, or how that clutch is properly adjusted!
If anyone here could help me get a copy of the adjutment instructions for this lathe, I'd certainly appreciate the help.
Either post it here, or I can provide my email address.
Thanks in advance
