My hidden history page showed the pitch details.

Thanks for the explanation. So what you are saying is the the two gears can
be "swapped" - Drive to lead and lead to drive? Thanks. Don't bother further
researching the Mill or its set-up for me. I don't have one nor do I intend to
get one.
Did you get a chance to view the video?

The gear that would go on the main drive gear is swapped with the gear on
the leadscrew. So instead of the lead screw turning 8 times and the spindle
turning once, the spindle would turn 8 times and the leadscrew once. There was
a gear kit sold as the lathe attachment that had a lead of .039" if I recall.
Again, I would need to look that one up. My memory is failing at the moment.

Tim,
Thanks for the info - I figured you would contribute some good info. I do
have one question.
In your reply, you said "The bonus of the plastic set is they where
reversible. This enabled some small pitches." What do you mean by
"reversible? The metal gears I've seen don't have a "correct way" and a "wrong
way" for installing - thus I'd term them "reversible" because They can be
flipped over when installing.
The second part of my question is about your follow-on comment "This
enabled some small pitches," How did that work?
Thanks for clearing it up.
Here is a cool, somewhat off topic, link.

If the guy can do this with a carrot, we should be able to make a similar
device on the Legacy. Has anyone done it? Anyone want to try - - video the
results. (I couldn't carry a tune if you gave me the big bucket to put it in.
So count me out.)

You are seeing correctly. They where 1/4" thick gears made from cast
acrylic. A direction gear was not an option. I have made plastic gears for my
model 200 and I will say they are quite to operate. So far none of them have
failed, but they have not seen much action. The bonus of the plastic set is
they where reversible. This enabled some small pitches, I don't recall off the
top of my head what they where. I could look it up if you are really curious.

Am I seeing it right?
Appears that the gears are "plastic". (I know someone will provide
the "correct" term here. One has had the protective paper remover - show it to
be red.)
What do Group Members have to say about that?
