I can't find it on Grizzly's site. What's the part number or link? My only concern is what's the swing of the whole piece and does it need a drawbar to stay in place? The legacy is not designed to pound a 2mt object into the headstock. You have to be nice to the socket :-). -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: 'joe biunno' via Legacy Ornamental Mills To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 1:49 PM Subject: Re: time for a question or two...... @ cole...but what if you want to back out that 1" router bit a bit because it better suits the finished look you are trying to achieve?...let's say to 7/8"...the whole mathematics thing is not usable...i found a grizzly piece that i think will be a nice add-on piece to the legacy and let you index to any cut you want...any repeat from 1 to 360...it will be here in my shop tomorrow and i will begin the not-to-difficult process to modify it to fit the legacy...see attachment...there are 15 degree indents built into the chuck(24 divisions)...the chuck is 3" in diameter...and it has a #2 morse taper...should be interesting if i can pull this off...thanks for the reply...joe On Wednesday, May 14, 2014 4:18:37 PM UTC-4, cole wrote: You move the router the diameter of the bit. Say you have a 1 in. rope bit ,you move 1 in. forward or back it does not matter reengage the router so you can crank it back to the original starting position. you will automatically be ready to do the next start on your twist.
