​Hi Richard If my old memory serves me well I think Andy or Tracy Anderson did either a video or visual presentation on using the REVO for finger joints. I have no doubt that Tim will know whether I am right or not. Regards Roger PS Are you interested in a Legacy 1200 with Rotary Table, one available here in UK, just drop me an email.
​ ​ From: Richard Ellis Received: 12/04/2018 16:39:55 +01:00 To: Legacy Ornamental Mills Hi Tim & Curtis I have now sorted out the pulley for the Revo, pictures later--. Have now also sorted out how to set up the Revo for doing " Finger Joints " I more or less copied the same principal as used by my Woodrat, that I do not use anymore. I do know the electricity supply in the USA is different from the UK. I did serve 6 months on an old US made T2 tanker called the " SS Steens Mountain " in the 1950's Now that is another story.

What I am thinking of doing is to bolt the pulley to the main spindle gear. At the present time I have to take off the main gear and fasten it to the spindle using the home made knob as shown in the pic On Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 1:52:07 PM UTC+1, Curt George wrote: Hello Richard. Please forgive me if I miss-read your question. In a nut-shell you are using a pulley on the main spindle shaft so you can increase the speed of the turning, to make a better planing cut...? Like what Mike did in this http://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/Pugn3.htm [http://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/Pugn3.htm] (link) or what I did on my spindle motor drive mounting. (see attachments) I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you want more info. C.A.G.

I don't see how this is going to help, but you got my attention. I hope it works out the way you want.

What is the goal that you are trying to reach? Will you be driving the leadscrew from your spindle motor or are you just trying to make it fast to add the spindle motor when needed? Sorry about the number of responses, it really difficult go get people to communicate when they don't feel qualified to answer and look like a fool... I got over rthat problem a long time ago! Tim On Apr 10, 2018, at 4:03 AM, Richard Ellis <rchrd....@gmail.com> wrote: Tim On second thoughts I think you are right, --my next bright idea is to turn an alloy ring to fit the gear allowing clearance for the teeth but allowing the 24 holes to be seen and used. Then drill three holes in the ring ,pulley and gear drill and tap the gear and fasten all three together. A permanent fix.//?? I did hope to get more responses from the group, have they all stored their LOM's away??????????

I would be concerned that as speed increases, the pulley could come off. If your pulley is held on by the spindle screw and you have a couple index pins poking through the main drive gear, I think you got a solid idea.

The pulley at the present time is fastened to a metal plate that I milled to fit the headstock. However my latest thought is to make it easier to put on and off by using magnets (three off) set into the 'V' pulley and metal pins that fit the holes on the normal gear --------the same system that Tim uses on the Reciprocater that he made.----- Is it a good idea or not ?? I have more photos of my converted office desk if any interest is shown.
