James you said you had some gears and spare parts I suggest you take some pictures of all your parts and post them then the guys here can let you know if you have anything missing
And were all the bits go Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James Fadenrecht Sent: Thursday, 2 October 2014 2:32 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: New Owner of a Woodchuck MA - Need documentation I finally had a chance to take some pictures. From the conversation and seeing the pictures and videos you have provided, I believe my MA has a odd setup to it. The lead screw is driving a gear and chain setup rather then the direct gear drive I've seen in pictures. Also, the router table doesn't have an attachment for it to connect to the lead screw, so I wouldn't be able to run X & Y directions at the same time. Also, I'm use to seeing a three for four jaw chuck to mount the wood for turning. I have a live spindle at one end, but just a plate at the other. Is there a special MA chuck that should be there? I do have a couple of boxes of gears, many with indexing holes and also some small aluminum extruded channels connected at the ends. I assume these are to connect between the rods on the machine for some purpose. Take a look at my machine and see what else may be unusual. I'm all ears for what I need to do to get this tool going and if I'm missing some vital parts. Let me know if you need pictures of the various parts (gears, etc.) to make sense of what I have and don't have. Any help is much appreciated. _____ Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 03:59:36 -0400 From: curtgeo...@wowway.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New Owner of a Woodchuck MA - Need documentation James here are to of Mike's youtube videos.

Mike post what you find on the woodchuck so we can save it too Bill P.s a one word reminder for you mike from me (motor) :) ----- Original Message ----- From: James Fadenrecht <mailto:jef1...@hotmail.com> To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, September 29, 2014 12:40 PM Subject: Re: New Owner of a Woodchuck MA - Need documentation That sounds great. I'm new to this equipment, but even thought it's older technology, I'm looking forward to see what I can do. I'll get some pictures out as soon as I can. Probablt Wednesday. Sent from Windows Mail From: Okla Mike (Liltwisted) <mailto:legacym...@iglide.net> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2014 9:41 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com I have some docs on the Wood Chuck and have one set up as well. I could see what I can do about getting them in a PDF or a DVD Also, if you have pictures you need me to identify, I'll do it. I haven't been too reliable so far on the documentation so keep asking if I am too slow. Bill understands this.

I don't have a picture yet, but I'll attach one later. What I'm looking for is any available documentation that may help me figure this tool out and get me started on the road to making great wood working project. Can anyone help?
