Good and underestimated little mill the revo some really great work can be 
produced with it.

A shame legacy has gone to cnc you could have been a legacy agent too. I look 
forward to the day when you get more time on your

Mill and we can help you master it.

Hello All, in reply to VA Oak and Mac I recall when Sweden changed from Left to 
right and they did it by having a total traffic movement ban for three days 
while they changed road layouts, signage etc.

The odd and even numbers idea was done in Paris France as an anti pollution 
measure and as a way of lowering traffic levels in the city. 

They need to do something like this in London today with the average speed 
across the city now down to 3 (yes THREE) miles per hour!!

I have the dubious pleasure of having to traverse a section of the wonderful 
M25 London ringroad motorway (for this read CAR PARK) twice a week.as I travel 
over the Dartford crossing to Kent and back.

 

You may notice a change of TAG for me as my email provider is closing down 
their free service after 12 years. I am now calling myself ShopsmithUK with a 
new email address, as I am the UK agent for this machine, so I hope that 
doesn't confuse anyone.

 

Tim may remember me from when I purchased my Legacy REVO from a lovely guy 
called Mac who used to be a contributor to this forum. I have to admit that 
since taking over my Shopsmith agency (Just starting my 4th year in this 
venture) I have been very short on project time to play with my REVO. I did use 
it very effectively to machine up parts for my workbench project but mainly 
doing cut-out work with the router. That was four years ago now and since then 
I have just been watching the projects of you guys.

I keep promising myself that I will have a play as the REVO came with all the 
toys, Rotary table, out board table and Tim's fantastic Wave accessory which I 
have played with and made loads of sawdust and weird shapes but nothing 
consistent as I kept on messing up the process. Same with the spirals, I am 
just a bit thick when it comes to working out the revolutions and spaces.

 

Maybe when I finally take the plunge to retire like UK Roger I will start to 
have the time to make sense of the procedures.

Richard,
Was it the Swedes that "phased in" the switch?   (I'm part Swede)
They had cars/trucks with odd numbered license plates switch over on Tuesday 
and then the even numbered plates on Wednesday.
