Got your calipers handy Gregg? How big is it, ID, OD and thickness. I am thinking it might be possible to shoehorn it into what is euphemistically called the head on my micro mill. If I don't junk it. In any event, this gizmo could come in handy whatever I do. I'd go measure it, but I'm 25 miles from the nearest guvmnt motors dealer. That whole shebang may leave as I am about worn out replacing its plastic gears anyway. Noisy, sloppy crap. I have that 400 watt motor I took out of the 7x12, which is a timing belt drive, which could with the right setup, drive a 2 gear idler shaft with the gears mounted on eccentrics so only one is engaged at a time. I'd have to build everything from the spindle housing flange up. Not a problem except for the time I might not have at my age. Or an adapter plate that puts the whole X3 post & spindle on it. That skinny little post is too flexible under load anyway. Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
