Hi guys (and gals/Brigitte), Tim & Bill - you bring up a good point. The LOM headstock with the ball bearing spindle support is very nice. Too bad Legacy doesn't still produce them. Has anyone ever posted the "recipe" for how one goes about replacing their headstock's plastic bearing sleeve with a ball bearing one? By that I mean - from start to finish - including the very pieces you order (and from whom you get them) and how to cut, drill, tap, etc. in order to install the new ball bearing spindle support. Just a thought - since we have a fair number of new Group members and some may want to "upgrade" their spindle. Cheers!

You put a heavy 6 or 8 ft pole in your mill and that’s a lot of pressure pushing down on those soft Delrin bushes they need to be nice and slippery or better still ball bearings but that is just my opinion of course.

I’ll start looking for a large pulley and motor. Your method appears less complicated than the one using a motor drive and gears. I don’t need a Mercedes just something to spin the work for sanding. Whatever I do it needs to be soon before we have a few nights in South Louisiana when the temperature falls below freezing and I loose my garage workshop to plant that have to be protected from freezing. Also I noted the discussion about a live center tailstock. Do you have any problems with the work spinning on the Legacy tailstock or do you have a live center.

One that I live by. I was told by a friend of mine, to keep everything uniformed, that way you can go form one machine to another with out having to change anything. The spindle drive motor I have is hinged and gravity holds the motor to the pulley. The drive motor dose not need to turn fast, 80 rpm is the fastest is needs to turn, The pulley needs to have a slot cut into it, so it will mesh with the Legacy's headstock spindle. I 5/16" thumb screw is all that holds the to together. I made a pulley out of wood before I found this large one. You don't need anything fancy. I've made a number of different adaptors over the years, including a wooden Legacy adaptor a few years back. I hope this helps? C.A.G.

Before I moved I had a lathe with a 3 jar chuck. I ordered a new hub from legacy and simply moved my work to the lathe with the hub for sanding and other details. A spindle drive motor wound be very useful. I checked the archives but I didn’t see anything about a spindle drive Jack Terry Covington La.
