1. Torque will not change with the speed since the gearing is creating the power - on a geared motor that is. On a DC motor with variable speed you will see a drop in torque as the speed is reduced. 2. Correct to some degree. To slow and you will end up burning the wood and dulling the

The added speed over Legacy's specified motor helps with a cleaner cut. Especially on small diameter work pieces. Generally I run the motor at half speed for most procedures. -Tim - Original Message - From: Arkady Paka To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent:

Hello Steve and Mac, I don't have an electronic version of the 900/1200/1800 manual available. I've been working on that one for a while. I have to agree with Mac that pictures of what you have might be faster to us or me to lead you to what you actually need and parts identification. It's

Steve, Legacy probably does have the handle and the index gear that goes on the spindle. It's the same parts used on the new Evolution. The lower part of the split nut might be questionable, but asking is free. I would wait until you know what you need before calling. -Tim -

Thanks for the contribution. That is a very early model 1200 manual. It's also a version that I have not personally seen. I have seen two other manual versions for the 1200. They basically updated the follower from acrylic to steel and changed the index gear pitch on the newer models.

Also keep in mind the maximum tilt with the gears engaged is probably around 2-1/2º. Much more than that and the gears will bind. If the Evo is like the other machines, the bed will tilt much farther than what the gears will allow. -Tim - Original Message - From:

Regarding the chuck issue. Does the manual illustrate or mention using a 1 shaft collar to tighten the chuck against? This spaces the chuck further away from the headstock and provides a mount that is truer than screwing the chuck to the end of the threads on the spindle. The gears should
