Default fa: atlas and south bend milling attachment for 10/12 inch lathe

My Sheldon 11x44 (Marketing name) and I have one. It fits nicely on once
I remove the compound.

I designed a holder that locked into the jaws that was a ball end turner.
The milling attachment allowed nice height and angle rotation as needed.
I used a boring head and made my own boring bar with a 90 degree triangle.
I got the straight shaft milling head mandrill and provided beautiful bronze
bushings. A hand wheel was attached to the opposite end for ease of turning
the cutter on the shaft turning in the spindle.

Engineman1 and I started a club some years ago and the pages still exist :-)

the bottom of this has a hole, 1.5 inches in diameter, that on an Atlas fits
over the projection to which the compound is mounted. On SB, there is an
adapter in that hole that projects downward into the hole in the cross slide
into which the compound mounts. If your Logan is like my (12 inch) Logan,
then you could use it by making an adapter plate that fit into the 1.5 inch
hole and had a properly sized hole (3/8? I dont' remember exactly) for the
pin that centers the compound and a pair of holes for the bolts that hold
the compound. I made a plate like this to mount a holdrige tool to my lahte
(because I had one that was for a bigger lathe and I couldn't get it low
enough if I left the compound in place)

I would not try to mount it on top of the compound, I think there will be
way too much vibration, but mounted on the cross slide will be fine

The pics on ebay are of the work holding side ? Ya think this will fit my
10" Logan ? Might save me buying a mill until I actually have room for one
