Re: need some gear boxes for twin screws

Doug,
I haven't been there but have been thinking about it. I had planned
to use a cog belt between the twing screws on a smaller router. Do
you think that would work?

Also... Gates is selling toothed belting by the foot for use as gear
racks. I wonder how that would work in place of screws.
