I only have the MA and parts for the IRT, so I can't do the comparison. I have
noticed the IRT gears seem to be a thinner gauge than the MA. Both machines
use a rectangular hole for loading on the gear head. "Okla Mike (Liltwisted)"
may have a better comparison he can offer, based on prior conversations.

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

Am I understanding that the woodchuck does not have a split
nut on any axis?

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

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?
