Hi Bill, I like the idea in theory, but the hub system does not run true. Originally I installed the Legacy drive stub in my lathe and just used the stock drive hubs. Both of my drive stubs and hubs had some vibration and the part was not cutting true in the lathe. There was really no way to make it right. I even faced the front of both of my drive stubs to try and get the hubs to seat perpendicular to the spindle axis and that helped but not good enough for what I was doing at the moment.
Did I ever show the group my faced, tapped and reamed drive hub? I faced the front to get rid of the excess weld ( and make the face true), tapped a 10-32 thread in the center about an 1" deep and made a 1/4" reamed hole in the center that is about 1/2" deep. It allows me to mount a piece perfectly in the center using a 1/4" steel dowel pin. The tapped hole is used to hold custom plates for hollow turning. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
