RE: New Owner of a Woodchuck MA - Need documentation

James,

Thanks. Do you also have one of the more "modern" Legacy Ornamental Mills - like the 900, 1200. 1800?  If so, can you compare the two sets of gears?

I need to be sure that the gears you are referring to will work on my Mill.  Do they fit/fill the profile (semi-circular arcs) that is painted on the headstock end of the 900/1200/1800?

Thanks for the info re: the felt wheel.  I have a WorkSharp 3000 and I thought it was the felt disk they make for it.  If yours is an inch thick, then it is not for the WorkSharp.  It uses one about 1/2" thick and 150mm diameter.
Thanks again.
Mac

I do have a duplicate set of gears (the gold ones), crank, etc. I believe were for the original IRT-33.  The silver plated gears are for the MA.  I could sell you the IRT-33 gold gears, etc. if you like. I'll take a picture of what I have for the IRT so you can see what you would be getting.  once you've seen the picture, we can work out what would be a reasonable price.  In terms of the felt wheel it is a 6" dia, 1" thick wheel.  I'll probably keep that to do finish buffing.

Mike,

Three questions:
1.  How is it that "Oklahoma" Mike is living near Milwaukee?  (Shouldn't you now be "Milwaukee Mike"?)

2.  If you have extra parts that you will not be needing/using, I will probably be interested in some of them.  Specifically, I am in need of a set of the drive(?) gears - the ones identified on the LOM headstock as "A" thru "G".  They appear to be the ones shown in the top/first picture in your email. 
Will you be willing to sell me these gears?

3.  In the last picture, in the lower right corner, there is what appears to be a round thick felt disk - with a hole in its center.  What is its diameter and thickness?
If it is about 6" diameter, I may be interested in it as well.

Thanks.

Mac

Split nut on the main drive but not on the carriage

I've never seen a copy of the Woodchuck manual either.  Am I understanding that the woodchuck does not have a split nut on any axis?

Hey Mike I don’t suppose you have the woodchucks instruction assembly manual do you

I’d love to see one and I bet James would too

You are correct about the lead screw nut.  It attaches to the bracket shown below the crank handle in the picture.  You will see two studs on the router mount that will line up with them.  They will be held in place with 2 wing nuts.  When you are in a free Y axis mode, take off the wingnuts and flip the bracket away from the router.  It will slide free now.  The little shaft in the U bracket is the reversing bracket.  For counter-clockwise or left hand twists. 

Mike
Ok

Thanks so much for the help.  I'm sure this will get me started.  In looking at the parts and the machine, I still don't see how or which part connects the drive screw to the router base.  The only threaded part that looks like it would connect is the upper left corner of the second picture.  If this is the correct part, how does it allow disconnecting from the drive screw when not used...does it allows have to be reversed to send it back to the starting point?
