This idea is way off the normal path, but curt once mentioned the idea of needle bearings. The problem is they don't take thrust loads. We don't generate high loads really in any direction, but what if we took a bronze flanged bushing and installed a needle bearing in it. Now we can use shaft collars that ride against the flanges of the bronze. We have just created a super thin thrust needle bearing. This is 3:30 am thinking so I'd definitely like to hear thoughts on this one.

Have you really worn out your bushing on the spindle? I might have an idea on a suitable bearing. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Bulkeley To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, August 25, 2014 1:48 AM Subject: RE: Revo Owners Only move the both out 1inch more so the revo will be able to turn 8inch dia instead of just 6. Six is not quite enough dia were 8 would cover most of what you would turn. spacers that fit the back of each that also fit the rails with longer bolts to the table nuts would do it. And defiantly ball bearings in the headstock a slip on live centre like I made once would take care of the tail stock end.

The answer is not without drilling new holes and making an adapter to fill the larger hole in the tailstock. The headstock and all the rest of the hardware can be swapped end for end. I will be considering making a reversed tailstock for myself. Any thoughts? -Tim No virus found in this message.
