Hi Gang,

I have a question, when running my lathe (a old Logan series 200), I get a fair amount of deflection in my saddle. For example, when I center drill with a 1/2" end mill, the saddle is "torque" forward. What would you recommend I adjust, replace, etc...to get that reduced. Could it be worn gibbs? Not sure and don't mind spending a few bucks...it's my temporary work horse.

Thanks much all.

John
