Hello and Good morning RichardCan you take some more pictures of your cutting
set-up?
Are you using a re-coil spring on your wave attachment?
I would suggest to make a test set of cuts, and this time use a round spindle,
make one cut and then indexand make another cut next to the first.( a few sets
of cuts should show us what we need?) The goal is to see if you can get
uniformity of your cuts,
Your use an octagon looks neat, but its hard to see what went wrong in these
photos . Perhaps you could mark the mid section of the octagons flats with a
marker, this way you would have a uniformed starting point on each spindle to
index to? At this point all I can do is suggest different ideas, But what We
really need at this moment is more detail on what is happening.Have a great
day.C.A.G.

TimI have been finding it difficult to centre the wave on the octagon ( One
face ) I think When in the shed next I will fix the wood in place using the
Revo locking pin /plate and then make sure the Wave index pin also lines up in
a hole. Hope it works???You will see by the pics ,although they are not too
clear.

A thought comes to mind. Since the Revo cannot use a double locking collar, I
would make the stock an octogon on the Revo, then make your waves. I'm still
trying to figure out the wandering wave problem. I think photos will reveal
the mystery.

Yes Tim The peaks were indeed deeper on the outside as I expected. Now how to
get the wooden object level. When I screwed the drive dog/plate on It was not
leaving the flat of the octagon level with the carriage, The 24 hole drive
plate did not quite line up,, I may in future have to do a light planing cut
.Or find a plate with more index holes.My last wave was not only off center it
wandered to one side, and of course it went deeper ------looked a bit strange.
I could not see the reason When I take a pic. I will high-lite with a marker
pen I don't think the carriage moved as I pencil marked it position before
startingThe wood I am using is very wooly maybe willow or poplar------ only fit
to practise with Richard

I'm waiting for photos before commenting. Putting waves on a flat surface was
never in the plan so this could be a very interesting thread.
The first thing that comes to mind is the depth of the cut would be deeper at
each peak of the waves. The center of the wave is of course the original depth
set. This is because of the arc of the cut. Does this make sense?

Richard The wave attachment is one tool that I know pretty well.
There is one trick that most people do not use, when using this
attachment,The trick is to mark your gears before you start, after the cut has
been made, you dis-en-gauge your lead screw, and bring the unit back to the
starting point, Then drive your machine until the marks on the gears are in
line again, then re-en-gauge your drive screw or index for the next cut.
If you want to do a number of indexes, it is safer to start form the same
point, and then index to the next cut instead of relining on the gears to keep
a constant...
Is this all necessary? No. But on the wave attachment if the arm has moved
on the other side of the swing of your starting point was, your wave/pitch will
be cut in a different direction.
I hope this helps?
I have to get to work now. talk to you all more latter.

Today at 8:37 AM Hi Curt The last Wave certainly did not work out,
and I am at a complete loss as to why. Will get a pic later. It is bright
sunshine here @ 13.30 and is starting to snow. The worlds gone mad!! Richard

Hey Richard. can you send us a picture, even if it did not work out as
planed, I would like to see what you did. C.A.G.

Yesterday I had a 2 1/2 inch square piece of wood in the Revo 20 inches
long. Used a planing cutter to make it into a octagon , then using Tims
Recprocator I did trial runs of waves on different faces, I think I should have
moved one of the gears one tooth as the waves were just off center. Why did I
do it????????? who knows!! All good practice Richard
