tim,
there is a specific reason i felt i needed to add two gears...the
existing, standard legacy direction gear has the two washers on either side
of the gear...if i added just one gear i would have two gears meshing
against each other but without any washers in place to almost guarantee
that they would slide apart sideways from each other...so following
legacy's stock set up, it goes from a gear on the lead screw(no washers) to
the direction gear(washers) to the gear on the bottom spindle(no washers)
to the gear that is on the other side of that bottom gear(washers) to the
gear on the head stock spindle(no washers)...point being, the legacy people
felt it always necessary when any two gears were meshing, that there be two
washers in place to make sure they did not "slide" off each other...the
extra legacy gear i have already has the "U" shaped channel that slides up
and down the gear channel...with just a bit of a cut and weld i can put
together the extra directional gear and the matching 60 tooth gear from my
gear set on one piece of "U" channel...extend the inner piece of the "U"
channel as necessary and i am basically done...and when reversing. just use
the standard legacy reversing gear set up...the 7 1/2" gear with the two 90
tooth gears might actually be too long...i only need to extend the carriage
4"...i am currently in the process of putting the head stocks back onto the
machine and then i should be able to get a more accurate grip on all of
this...photos to follow soon, i hope...thanks...joe
