use a spade bit and drill a pocket in the center and use your chuck to grab the hole. It's easier than drilling five holes in the right place.

Then hold onto the outside of the corian with a 4 jaw chuck. Larger diameter jobs require greater torque and larger drive dog set would be needed.

Technically it is sold only to authorized distributors, and some of the distributors actually take the agreement not to sell to the general public seriously. I've also found the material at building supply recyclers and discount sellers. I agree Corian taps really well. I can't testify to the longevity of the threads, but the next alternative is to add thread inserts such as Helicoils to make a thread that will last virtually forever. I personally don't like the dust that is given off when working Corian, but it's interesting stuff. This topic reminds me I started to make a low profile vise but never finished it. Thanks for the reminder. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis" <curtgeo...@wowway.com> To: "Legacy Ornamental Mills" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 3:01 AM Subject: Re: Pilaster dogs order Hello Everyone. Im at work now,but still have a few min. before I need to start up for the day. I did an expermant this morning, I cut a peice of corrian and taped it. a 10-24 and a 1/4-20 the screws hold very well. my suggestion here is why not use corrian (cabnet countertop meteral) for these palester dogs? The meteral is solid and very stable, it works with any woodworking equipment,you can drill it,tap it,cut it all by your self's. Why not use it for these dogs,and cut out the middle-man,Size is unlimmited, and once you make them thay will last for years,perhaps life. This one is to easy not to shair. Gota go. C.A.G.

(1947 vintage) It had a gear that ran along a chain,More or less it was used very much like the rack-in-pinion that Legacy's newer CNC machine use. I dont see why it couldn't work on something like the Legacy? Didn't you post a you tube video , where a man used a chain to run his router lathe? Tim and I have talked about this topic a lot in the past. (He has some idea that are pretty neat.That I believe will work, along these lines.) (Sorry guys, you are just going to have to wait to hear about his ideas your self, from him.NOT Me.) ;-) Now a chain loop would be easy to make, and ... I think its worth looking into.Good luck on that one Bill. Its time for my to hit the hay. Have a good night. I will talk to you all latter tomorrow.

But Legacy had a problem with flexing and bending of the acme screw when thay made there own Large units. They had to come up with a bridge system to support the screw and let the carriage pass. I can not find a picture now, but thay used a system,The bridges were like a titer-totter, one end of the bridge is in contact with the screw at all times, the bridge would tilt out of the way of the carriage when the unit moved through it. I will find a picture when I can. Now perhaps 10' you will not have the same problems, that Legacy had with there LARGER UNITS (2000-2200 ) I cant wait to hear how this up-grade works. I still have my own dreams of turning a 20' barley twisted telephone pole. ;-) C.A.G. ----- Original Message ----- From: Begat To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 5:31 PM Subject: Re: Pilaster dogs order Hello Bill, http://www.dependableacme.com/ Both Tim and Curt have recommended them in the past. They make threaded rod in 6ft and 12ft length, but they will cut it. The rod is really cheap. The shipping, we'll see, but it has to go by freight. I would have been much better off purchasing 10 threaded rods. In any event, Tim is working on the conversion kit for the 900.

This coming week will be close to two months for a simple order of pillaster dogs and a few hubs.

I received a call last monday and was informed that the items had drop shipped direct from legacy. So here it is Saturday an no shipment. It would appear that Legacy is now lying to Magnate about the shippment. Try as I might I have been unable to even get a tracking number. So Legacy has won. I informed Magnate that if they did not have a tracking number to show that the items had indeed shippped on Tuesday as I was told to please cancel the order and refund my money. I am seeking a vendor locally who can make the hubs and dogs and will pay what ever they want but legacy does not get another dime of my money...anyone who has a set of the pillaster dogs that could help me out with some dimensions please contact me off list at carlstig...@hotmail.com On Saturday, March 3, 2012 1:39:50 PM UTC-5, carls...@hotmail.com wrote: Well all I thought I would give you all an update on my attempt to buy from legacy.
