Ok i just put a small washer on the thread in front of the washer that is there on the index gear nut ,a washer smaller in dia than the rectangle hole in the gear this let the nut tighten but left the index gear a little loose giving it hopefully the movement you need
to lift the bed for tapering. Please let me know if this works or if I'm off again on a wild goose chase Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Bulkeley Sent: Friday, 10 January 2014 10:41 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: New Evolution Looking at the evo video as tracy lowers the bed to taper the adjoining gears do seem to move as well suggesting it should Work. I know this is not much help, but looking closely at the gears in the video perhaps try loosing the nut a little that holds the index gear it might give you the movement you need in the gear to do a taper it locates on the rectangle still and in the next gear so it might work ok still I tryed it just now on my 900 and it gave the index gear quite a bit of movement But you will have to try it doing a job to know if it works ok I know its a crazy idea but it might work Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of mostlyc...@yahoo.com Sent: Friday, 10 January 2014 10:01 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New Evolution I retired last week - Ho-ray!!!!! Just starting to get familiar with my Evolution and have a question - when I adjust the bed for tapering, do I have to disengage the gears first (can tapering be done only with the hand crank)? I tried (gently) to lift the tapering bed and it really seemed that the gears were binding (only the gear attached to the headstock was tilting and it soon bound up on the other gears). I'm new, nothing in the manual about this, and apparently Legacy is not answering support emails.

As far as the template set, You can make your own using hardboard or plexie -glass. both are cheap to buy and easy to work with. One word of advice, PLAY with your machine first, and see what you can do. use cheap wood, firewood old 2x4's stuff that will not cost you any money, Mistakes will happen, so plan for the worst, in that way the you can only succeed and not fail. ;-) Have a good time using your machine, Please keep us up to date on your adventures.

As promised, new Evolution was manufactured and delivered to me here in Alaska within the promised timeframe. I haven't taken it out of the crate as of yet but will probably get into it this weekend. They no longer make the template kit, so if anyone has one that they would like to sell, please let me know. I know absolutely zilch about this machine so I will start going through the process of coming up to speed (and will probably ask some questions as time goes on. It seems that all the extra accessories are no longer available (turn table, follower, etc) so I will be inquiring if anyone has any alternative mods to help with that.
