Gimp

I tend to be a lurker here on the Legacy Board. I have a 1200. If you decide to download GIMP be sure to go to www.gimp.org to obtain it. The current version is 2.8.10 It you merely go to Google or Bing and type gimp then you will have a lot of links that look official but that will download

They sound like the main drive and standard duplex gear for the old woodchuck model (MA-12). Yes Legacy made a change to the gear count during the middle of the model 900's. I don't know why, I could only guess that reduced tooth count on the newer machines (larger teeth) decreased

Neat Don. Thank you. C.A.G. - Original Message - Here's another way to deal with distracting background, but this time we're going to place the image in a different setting. We're still using the free GIMP program and a very simple method to get the effect. I use a photo I took

Did this chuck work? I can't find it on Grizzly's site. What's the part number or link? My only concern is what's the swing of the whole piece and does it need a drawbar to stay in place? The legacy is not designed to pound a 2mt object into the headstock. You have to be nice to the socket

16lbs is a lot of extra weight, but your headstock can easily take it. I don't like the idea that it's unbalanced. Grinding away a $200 fixture really makes my mind go crazy. I would think you could fabricate something much smaller in your shop. In fact it's something I've given quite a
