Hi Joe, The split nut is still available from Legacy. Call them for a replacement. Don't bother emailing them.
I'm not familiar with the router that you have on the machine. Have you seen an accessory called a Router Raizer? It's a screw and a handle to raise and lower your router by a small increment. Is that the kind of control that you are looking for, or are you looking for more plunge depth and rapid raising and lowering the modern z-axis provided? I don't recall anyone ever talking about adding a z-axis to an old steel machine, so you could be the first which is why there is a lack of responses. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Gassen To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2014 3:31 PM Subject: Senior Newbie Hey Guys! I am having trouble searching the archives. Forgive me, I know all this has been dealt with before. Perhaps you can just furnish links. I need a new split nut (or upgrade) for the lead screw on a old steel rail machine and: also is there a reasonable Z axis upgrade for it with maybe a screw to raise and lower the router? Just dug the mill out today and a rope turning for a dresser applied molding. Thx Joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
