Logan taper attachment attachment
I'm thinking seriously about putting Thomas Morrison's taper attachment from
the October/November "Machinist's Workshop" on my to do list . His design is for a Grizzley which seems to have a flat crossfeed carriage surface and tee slots. My Logan has a curved, unslotted, unholed surface on the back side of the crossfeed. The only soluton that comes to mind is to mill a flat on the crossfeed carriage and drill and tap a couple of holes. Is there a better or more elegant way? How are Logan factory taper attachments mounted ( assuming they are of similar design ) any comments are welcome. John |

Logan taper attachment attachment
http://www.lathe.com/images/pl-taper.gif Here is a picture of one from the logan website. I'm not exactly suure how it attaches, but it looks like you need to remove or disengage the crossfeed leadscrew.

John For the taper attatchment, the lead screw is splined/keyed to the shaft on the handwheel. The leadscrew can slide in and out relative to the handwheel. The thrust bearing for the leadscrew is on the taper attatchment. As long as the taper attatchment is not moving, it acts normally. Pete |
