Bill, You sure are right about needing to add an inch to the head and tailstock. With only a 1/16th of an inch on each side, a 6 inch finished piece needs an octagon that has over a 6-1/2" swing and that is not possible in the current setup.
I'm going to move forward with designing a new Revo headstock that allows me to swap ends and increase the turning diameter. I think the delrin bushings are good for me. I still don't see a simple solution for real bearings. Thanks for the input. -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.
