Big column . like the name joeacy you can hardly still call it a legacy now Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] Sent: Friday, 13 February 2015 1:23 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Cc: curtgeo...@wowway.com Subject: Re: enlarging turning capacity of a legacy okay ladies, here's another update...welded together one of the two head stocks, in a jig as previously posted...took care to center it, don't think i am more than .015 out, but it's really not that critical, as the tail stock and other head stock will be welded together using this head stock as it's reference to guarantee all three line up...the first photo shows the completed head stock in a jig prepared to weld together the tail stock...the jig is a replication of the widened bed on my mill...head stock in place and using a double morse taper piece to line up the tail stock center section with the head stock on all planes...the new metal pieces were then cut and fitted to mate with the tail stock center piece, as shown in the second and third photos...just need to do the welding...when the tail stock is completed, the head stock will be removed from the jig and the other head stock, which is in pieces, will replace it, and now the tail stock will be used to align the head stock...pieces will be cut, fitted and welded to complete the second head stock...then i am done with the major cutting and welding operations of this mod!!!!...it was fun for a while but now it is getting tedious and boring...glad it is almost finished...all comments welcome...joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
