Got the green light. Grizzly G0602

[Turbinedoctor]

I had a HF 8x14 and the drivetrain looks is similar to the G0602. My HF 8x14 came with an idler gear that bolts onto the heatdstock & goes in between the spindle gear & the change gears. Installing this idler gear changed the direction of the leadscrew for LH feeding. Not sure if the G0602 has the same feature but if not it can probably be added very easily.

I don't recall anything like that that came with mine but will have to see how hard it will be to add one. Thanks to the thought.

Well, I may have talked myself out of the G0602 and into a PM1022V..

While you are at it why not talk yourself into one of these too?

As shipped the G0602 doesn't support it, but a reverse idler can be added pretty easily. I think these instructions, from Jim Schroeder on ProjectsInMetal.com (also a member here), are the easiest and most complete that I found: http://www.projectsinmetal.com/details-of-the-simple-g0602-reverse-idler/

Here's a pic of the one I built:
