Whoops!
the front mount template follower picture is not the one that I wanted to send,
Its an older picture, but the idea shows the possibilities.
The photos that I just took I cant figure out how to get them off the camera
and onto my computer files at this min. I will send some more pictures when my
wife get home tomorrow.
I will check back in latter this evening.
Until then, Have a good night.

Subject: Legacy Spindle Motor
Hello Everyone. I have a new toy that I wanted to share with you all.
Its not a new idea, Legacy originally used this type of motor set up on there
Wood Chuck milling system back in the early 1990's and latter again used it on
there Larger Models 2000-2200.
What I've done was to adapt a motor and a pulley onto the indexing
shaft,(head stock.)
My set up is pretty simple, I use a hinges and a piece of uni-sturt with
some pipe clamps to hold my motor, Gravity and some lead weights are all that
is needed to keep enough pressure on the belt so I can use it.
Let me say first, I am Really liking this motor!
The Quality of my spindles finish are the finest that I have ever done on my
machine with out sanding, ("O" ,I forgot to state,This motor also lets me sand
on my machine as well.But more on that latter.)
By speeding up the movement of the spindle, I can slow down the movement of
the carriage, Letting me get the finest cuts that I've ever seen off my machine.
The motor also lets me turn spindle form a templates so much easer and faster
than what I have ever done before. (cutting form the side.)
Now the motor that I have is a high speed motor with a rheostat to control
the speed of the spindle, but honestly a much slower motor would most likely
work as well.(something like 100 rpm should due nicely.)
I will now send you some pictures, If anyone has any comments of questions
Please ask. (I have a lot more to add to my statements, but You all know what
they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. And I don't want to bog down my
system. ) ;-)
So here we go. Please let me know what you think.
C.A.G.
