Hello Peter
the pulley is 10" and made out of cast iron, I found it in a box of old pulleys
at work. (it most likely went to an old air compressor, but your guess is as
good as mine?)
I had to make a sleeve for this pulley center hole, the hole was 3/4"and it
needs to be 5/16" to have it mate up with the Legacy headstock, I used an 3/4"
round stock and drilled it out so that the screw will fit into and through the
pulley. Latter I added a flat so that the pulley's set screw would hold the
center in place. then I cut my notch to fit the Legacy head stock, I had to do
the same trick on the 2" alum pulley that I used on the motor as well.
(although no notch was needed on the motor.)
Its time for dinner,So I have to go.
Talk to you all latter.
Have a good night.
C.A.G.

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.
