Hello Tim I have never seen first hand a REVO unit. but It makes since to me if there is not room for a motor to be attached, is there a way to put a sprocket onto the drive shaft and use chain to turn the lead screw with the motor mounted on the far side? Or would something like a Early Wood Chuck motor drive work? I mean to hook the motor onto the indexing gear and drive the screw from the other direction? I wish you luck and cant wait to see the pictures. Keep up the good work. C.A.G.

I'll be using a shorter version than normal with the Revo so my thinking is I can reach the other end of my stock with my arm so, probably no motor. I am a lazy guy at heart and I have the extra parts, so I'm not ruling the idea out either. Maybe I'll add some additional pem inserts on the headstock to accommodate a motor. I'm attaching an idea for a headstock that extends the spindle out 1.5". I have not checked to see if this will work with the carriage clearance and y-axis length. To be honest, I need to put my Revo together! I'll get the details worked out soon. You will notice I can add another index pin and make an additional 20 hole index. That gives me the 5 and 10 that I use pretty often. Now I will have 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,20 and 24 indexes. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From:Bill Bulkeley To:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 1:00 AM Subject: RE: Revo Owners Great I look forward to see what you come up with. Have you considered motorizing it then you might not need to worry about a swapping head and tail Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
