Thank you for the photos It looks pretty neat to me. I've been day dreaming of a way to make an electronic gear box for the Legacy, Not CNC realy but a better way to control speeds and pitches. As I said its only a day dream, but... Maybe someday?. Thanks again for the photos.

Sure! The gear reduction is sandwiched between two pieces of 3/8"-ish thick aluminum. I drilled it all by hand as best I could. The gears attach to the headstock with a 1/4" rod with a flat ground on it's entire length (from mcmaster.com, called a D-shaft, I think). I drilled a hole in the headstock shaft for a set screw to tighten against that D-shaft that fits down the headstock hole. The entire assembly is attached to two existing holes of the big red frame piece with the legacy logo on it. I know I didn't explain that very well, so ask more questions anytime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
