Thats a good deal. You will also have to jump the limit switch by splitting the common. I made the mounting arm that holds the feed first, then the adaptor. I made the arm longer then needed and after I was done I cut it flush with the base of the r/t casting at the rear. I also should mention that the reason for the slotting in the arm, aside from mounting the bracket to r/t is to set the gear backlash at the feed. You'll understand when you get that far. There also is another option if needed for gear backlash. CharlieFor the price of a bevel gear and shipping plus $30, I bought a completely new unit off EBAY with free shipping. Be here early next week.

What is that white cover between the handle and feed unit? Looks like maybe a PVC pipe cap.

Sounds good, can't wait to see the finished product. On that pvc cap I have to make a ring to shield the ring gear. Thanks for getting back to me.Charlie
Just got the unit today. Have the brackets and drive plate ready to go. Tomorrow I'll make the shaft and assemble it. I have a few things to use it on already. Today I made a light duty 20" fixture plate from some linen micarta I had in stock. Mainly for cleaning up edges of plasma cut sheet.
