On mine, the solution was to pay attention to the stroke and set the motor direction accordingly. Return stroke is fast, cutting stroke is slow.

I'd drop the whole think in a gallon of Evaporust before I touched it.

Yes, oil only. Same thing in the back gear

Yeah, I got one. Great machines, like a 80% Bridgeport. Mine will be listed in my will.

I think I'm on Step 10 now. If you count brake lathes I'm at 11. Logan 9x17 Enco 10x24 Atlas 618 mk1 atlas 618 mk2 Atlas 618 mk1 HF minlathe Enco minlathe MicroMark minilathe Cummins minilathe Enco12x24 SB 9a Ack! that's 11 without the brake lathe I only ever had 5 at a time, currently 4 -...

Mine had the arrow, but it was pointing the wrong way. And the original motor was turning backwards. I'll need to revisit that.

I want a lathe just like yours - Logan Powermatic by Houdaille - to match my mill. I'm envious ;D I have a shop full of lathes right now, and I'm about to clean house. If a Logan Powermatic shows up soon, I'll buy it. Otherwise I'll order a new Asian lathe to be named later.
