Reverse Tumbler Positioning Lever
After visiting Jack Fuselier's
web site and studying his Harbor Freight 9 x 20 tumbler
reverse I decided it
was time to give it a try.
I basically followed Jack's design with a few small changes. The project
took a
weekend to complete and
works perfectly. The reverse tumbler allows the direction of the leadscrew
to be
reversed without changing
the direction of the motor / chuck. ( This should no be confused with the
motor
reverse ) This allows you
to make cuts away from the chuck and also to cut left handed threads.
Since
completing this project I really like it. I also like that when the tumbler
reverse is placed in the neutral
position it eliminates the gear
terrain from turning (no need for all those gears to turn while facing)
I have included pictures along
with descriptions of the building process. Hopefully this will help &
good luck.
