I bought a Logan Powermatic Lathe 11" x 36" at an estate auction.
The machine shows very little wear with original good paint. I was reluctant to buy it but there was no other bidders
Someone was attempting to change the motor to a NEW 1.5 HP GE and I do not have the old motor and this motor is not mounted.
There is a variable speed on the Spindle drive and there is a variable speed pulley mounted on the replacement motor.
I am sure the base will have to be modified for this new motor, and I can do that, but I need to know how to alighn the pulleys.
Normally I would just use a straight edge but the two variable pulleys operate opposite each other.
The motor pully moves to the left and the driven pulley (above) moves to the right.
Any information would be appreciated.
