The center section of the stand looks like a 4 start done with the 808 cove bit and two of the starts have a straight bit to make the hollow portion.
Backlash should not be a problem if the machine is always going the same direction. Just how much are we talking about? We might need to talk about a few machine adjustments. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Scott" <gscot...@comcast.net> To: "Group Legacy" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2012 3:59 PM Subject: Segmented bowl plus Curt, Not sure where this email is going to end up inside the group. I assume the subject determines that so it won't be where I would like it to be. Well yes I do have a picture, if this goes where it is supposed to. It's from the Legacy site's gallery. Maybe one of the group here did it. It is a very nice piece of work. I'm interested in the post which I think is very much like one of the candle holders Legacy demos, but scaled down a little. I have been using 2 1/2" stock 6" long. Using a 1 1/2" barley bit make the initial turn 3/4" from each end, then cut a 4 start barley twist. Then a 2" corebox cut on top of each barley twist. I haven't attempted the straight bit yet. The last try wasn't too bad..I started the corebox in to far. I initially tried a three inch dia piece but it seemed bulky. By the way I have done several of the candle holders similar to this. They haven't been to bad. Each one gets better. The slop (backlash?) in the machine drives me crazy. Conquoring it. Now to see what happens with the email..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > > > > George > Sent from my iPad ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group. > To post to this group, send email to legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to legacy-ornamental-mills+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
