If you look in the archives, I use my kids for turning power a few years back,
(the funny thing here is. My kids don't want to anything with woodworking, I
help but wonder if I ruined there hole out look on wood working in general,
because of it?) ;-) at the speeds that you need to go, to move the legacy's
carriage, I don't think your wife will enjoy it much ether. But I sorta like
the idea. Perhaps if I can find something small, like a 200 or even a REVO.
something like this would work out pretty nicely.

Heck guys (& gals) - I see this device as a means to get our spouse
"involved" - they can provide the pedal-power. Run that one by them.

Great thought especially if the treddle was extended closer to the action
so one can more easily monitor the process. That is the only draw back I have
withe the variable speed li powered drill. It has a notorious operator present
switch ehich I am working on overcoming. Hence my original post.

This is an 1897 pedal powered lathe. No if we move this idea in to modern
times, 2013 we can use the same concept on the Legacy ornamental mill
Think about it? a exercise bike or foot pedal, a set of pillow blocks,a
drive shaft, chain or belt , pulley or gears... all simple things that can be
picked up pretty cheaply .
NOW the Legacy drive screw only needs to turn 200 rpm max and slower in
most cases. which means, You don't need to go fast, a slow pedaling is all you
need, Since
speed is not the factor since the router dose all the cutting, all you
need to do it move the carriage. and with a good seat to sit or stool, so you
can relax and watch the spindle/wood being cut
it should be a no brainer.
With this idea, you could also use the same crank shaft to turn the
spindle/head stock side as well. So you could do more lathe like turning
(profile or template following) and sanding on your Legacy as well.
Now Granted this set up is not as covenant as a motor drive where you can
walk away form your machine while cutting, but for those people who don't want
to... buy a motor, this idea will work. The only problems that I see with it.
is you will need to use a brake on the fly wheel/pulleys to stop the
movement of the carriage,think of it as manual stops.
If you like this idea Please let me know.
Have a good day, ALL. ;-)
