Try removing the middle duplex gear to give you a better view and also start the flute at the tailstock end for more room I also mark the holes with a white board marker or marking pen for easier identification of the holes. And even separate the gear linkage in the middle and let each end hang down loose to reveal a better view of the pin entering the index holes.

I know I said patience is a virtue, I am running out of it ,,, I have just been and tried to do a few flutes on each end of a cane and although my hands are not that big I find it near impossible to hold the indexing pin and at the same time count the index holes, when the router is close to the Headstock the view is blocked with the linkages even when I number them it is still difficult. to see. How do you do it????? Thanks in anticipation Richard On Wednesday, May 17, 2017 at 9:46:10 AM UTC+1, Richard Ellis wrote: Bill & Curtis All in good time Patience is a virtue so they say.

Quite good having two mills saves cutter changing. Will then go back and change gears to see what waves I get without changing the reciprocater Richard On Monday, May 15, 2017 at 9:04:33 AM UTC+1, Richard Ellis wrote: Hi Everyone, Well, yesterday I needed quite a few blanks for testing out wave patterns on the Revo, using what limited cutters that I have. So went to the old Woodchuck using some rubbish pine wood, put a half inch spiral up-cut Milling cutter into the ER 20 collet extension . Set the limit switches, set the speed on the drive to the spindle. Don't trust the limit switches too much.!!!??? Two inch square blanks, two passes and a fairly clean cut surface. Nice not to crank handles all day---------- just stand back and when near the end of the cuts, just make sure the switches work. Today I will use the Woodchuck again to prepare , size and taper the Dia.for the Revo for testing what cutters I have . I must think about limit switches and a drive for the spindle for the Revo. More expense !! What cutters are you folk using for Wave Patterns ? Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
