Are there going to be picture involved at some point? You know many of us are actually illiterate and can only read pictures :-).

I am sorry to say that I still am having computer problems at home, So I do not have the ability to use many of the features that I normaly use on my computer. Things like Spell check. and posting pictures to this group. Hopefully I will be able to get this problem resolved soon? Anyhow onto the topic at hand. This is an old idea from Legacy, but not one that thay sold for long, since I know of only one Wood chuck unit that had this modification, and I know that thay again tried using this mod. again on that 2200 model units that were quickly discontinied. OK! So you ask what is this modification? It is my newest project/toy that Ive been playing around with. A seperate motor for the spindle its self.Not the drive but the spindle its self. by useing a motor to spin the turning, and the motor drive together you can get a supper smooth clean cut on any spindle. Now Im talking about turning a round spindle turning only, No ropeing or anything fancy just a round stright dowell with a clean and smooth surface. Now this is not be the End-All,Be-All, Legacy modification but I like it! This is what was done, On the Wood chuck (my friends Kevin's unit) It has a second motor with a swivel and a mating gear on it. all you needed to do is loosen the locking screw and have the gear touch the Wood Chuck's indexing gear. On the modle 2200 Legacy used a drive belt. And on my unit, I used a 24 volt motor from a wheel chair, that has a rubber drive wheel, What I did was to mount a board onto my rails,and make the wheel engauge the indexing gear to make this mod. work for me. I have to go! talk to you all latter. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
