Hi Roger, The revo and model 200's got away with a threaded 5/8" shaft. Curt had a wild idea to down size the spindle size so smaller bearings can be installed in the early delrin bushing machines. This idea might work but then you would loose the MT. On the good side, ShopSmith machine use a 5/8" shaft so you can easily buy adapters to fit your 1-8" items so that solves that problem. Pen mandrels can be treaded to fit a hole like the revo on 200's used so there's no issue. I can't think of why you need one on the legacy. The only other thing I can think of is people are using the taper for drive centers. I'm not aware of anyone using them though. This question only applies to our legacy machines.

As long as you have a suitable thread for attaching items.

Would you miss it if it was gone? -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
