Definitely not selling this one. It takes me too long to make them manually. I could farm it out but it would still be expensive for two or three units. -Tim - Original Message - From: "Bill Bulkeley" To: Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2011 7:37 PM Subject: Re: New Spur Drive > http://

Cole, When I made the trial jig, I was so uncertain that it would work that I didn't bother to take pictures. I will when I make the improved version. I'm going to cut slots in it so that I can use the same jig to make different size posts. My 900 has a swing limit of 10 inches since I built a

I never made them available to the public but I have the tooling to make them. My version is different from Legacy's in that I use an ejector pin and screw to be able to remove the tool. Also I have a quick release that makes taking the tailstock out easier without the need to remove the e-clip.

I forgot the newer Legacy do not have a MT2 taper on the tailstocks. My old 1000ex dose. I do believe you are right about Tim making a new tail stock adaptor for a MT2.on his mill. HAY GUYS! if these are enough people who want to buy Tim's adaptors, I have a pretty good feeling that we can ent

Hello Bill (and everyone!) I just got home from work. If I understand you correctly, the main problem is??? not having a good enough mounting form the Legacy drive hubs on your lathe? Or is it, you are just looking for a better way to mount everything on both machines? On the topic of the eve
