I was thinking close fitting that fits neatly over the top rails at least
like perhaps plastic channel
and the top rails are the maine concern it were the saddle runs

Subject: Dust Control
I had the same idea, but if the cover hangs over the rails it will also
interfere with the tailstock. I know that I really don't like the vinyl
curtains for dust control. I thought about bristles, but in the end a
frequent vacuuming and compressed air see to be the winners for me as well.
On Curt's machine, the slotting of the rails would not work. His bushings
are a different orientation.

only the slots cut in the rails but you already know that one
I also have compressed air so after every cut I blow the rails clean
it only takes a couple of seconds.
I did have an idea of sliding rail covers that move with the saddle but that
was just an idea I get lots of crazy ideas

Hello all.
I have a question on the Legacy, that fits into this frame work of the
topic.
I want to figure out a better way to stop wood chips from bogging down
my rails.Anyone have a better way TO stop this from happening. I for
one would like the hear about your way.

Rotary table control is one of my favorite topics:

and
http://www.ornamentalmills.com/tips/TK_rotary_table_indexing/index.html
I also figured out a lock for the table to prevent the table from turning
while making a cut.

There is a long thread with some other options as well.

As far as the x,y, and z, it seems to me adding digital scales (or
mechanical scales for small movement) seems to be the best idea so far.
I've seen guys put digital scales on the x,y, and z axis. That seems a bit
spendy to me but as long as you can lock the carriages in place you've got
some good control. I guess it really depends what type of cuts you are
trying to make and how much precision are you looking for? I'm assuming
you've all seen the ideas about replacing the shaft collars with home made
stops.
My solution for the y-axis would not work well on the x because of expense
or practical reasons on the z.
Hey curt, remember my poor man's router height adjustment? That gives you
1/32 of an inch control per turn of the wing nut. It was like the router
razer without having to modify a $325 router. The all thread screwed in
the porter cable turret and went through the hole where the height rod
goes. If you need to drop down a hair that is measurable, that's one way
to do it. With a digital scale you can bump the router into place seeing
the number to verify the location. Not so easy without a gauge. About the
same time I showed if you need a specific small adjustment you can insert
a dial indicator and measure the movements. See here
:http://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/msg/0f0749111b62dd25
.
Reminds me of the other idea of the adjustable depth rod. A 10-32 screw
installed inside of a piece of 3/8" CRS that you can rotate the screw for
fine adjustment. Since it's 32 threads per inch you know a 1/2 turn would
move you a little over .015" In retrospect, it might be handier to have
the screw be a 10 or 20 pitch thread to get the adjustment in 10'ths if
you using a pair of digital calipers. A 1/4-20 might fit the application
better. Here's the original
posthttp://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/msg/fb8789b8b3261

How's this for a new idea. For repeating depths on the z, how about
mounting a story stick that has the common depths and does not block
normal use? Come to think of it, if you have a block similar to Legacy's
smart pad that was mounted on the inner rail that is cut to match the
center of the spindle you could use that as your reference point. Then you
can use some shop made blocks as measuring tools between the router depth
rod and turret. Is this sparking any new ideas?

How about finding a better way to control the depth of cut. I mean
measureing and subrtracting the numbers, then useing feeler gauges to get

Dose anyone out there have any ideas or tricks that thay use ? Getting
better control of my Legacy is always a good idea, If anyone know of a
better way, I for one would like to hear it.

Subject: 1/32" control on y-axisHello All,
Does any one need the ability to control their y-axis by a 32nd of an inch
in a repeatable fashion. I've got an idea that's been in the back of my
head for a long time and I now have the ability to make it happen, but for
the
life of me, I cannot remember why this was even desired. Can someone help
me out :-) Is this something that would interest you? I might make
it happen.
-Tim
I'd like more precise measurement abilities in all axis, plus a more
precise turntable measurement system.
