Hello Tim, I also would be interested to see any mods made for the REVO. I haven't played with mine much, mainly due to time constraints, I did like your earlier description of a mod you made to make setting up tapers a little less hit and miss.The TK bed height adjuster which I was going to

Hi, with regards to a motor drive to fit to your Legacy mills I saw an interesting discussion on another forum which may be useful to this group. If you go to http://bedair.org/Tmotor/Tmotor2.html you will find what I think looks like a good low cost system. The guy, Steve, lists lots of

Hi, lucky indeed, and I am happy you did not get hurt. It really shows that attention to health and safety IS IMPORTANT. In my early days I was working in a machine shop and did NOT think ahead. Simple error of leaning across to switch off my overhead router and had my left hand resting on

Hi Roger, is it possible you could send me the same file you have for the REVO. All the stuff I have is on paper and it would be a lot easier to access via my laptop? I would be very grateful. Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy

On the subject of the router, I have no idea what the PC 7539 looks like so cannot comment. I use an Elu 177e which Roger kindley supplied a Router Raizer kit for, which gives me a pretty accurate Z axis control. The router itself is no longer available but is electronically controlable for the

Hi All, this stop is not the same as the ones fitted to my REVO. The T shape on this stop is not the same. On the REVO mine is more of a half S but the principle is the same. One other point is that there looks to be a washer missing from the lock bolt which would lead to damage on the

Hello Brandon, I can confirm that the sliding alloy plates part 514491 are from the Shopsmith. The fact you have four of them confirms to me that they are off the Lathe Duplicator kit (as I have one of these) Martin, of Martinsbootfair a UK member. On Monday, December 17, 2012 5:37:02 AM
