The part that didn't compute for me was that if the 1:8 ratio results in a spiral spacing ...

Could you adjust the cable, somehow, or were you stuck with a fixed amount of turns per length of the leg?

It is 1"-5 The spacing of the spirals is determined by the index wheel, not the gearing. The gears determine how far down the leg the router travels per each revolution.
