On a 6inch dia piece How about a 2 inch rope bit with a 12inch pitch using the 2x multiply gears 3 start rope
That’s of the top of my head Bill From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] Sent: Monday, 2 April 2018 11:10 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Working toward a Legacy Mill Hello and Good morning Ira. As a General rule of thumb, a rope pitch should be 2-3 time the diameter of the spindle. This is just a general rule. If I make a 6" spindle and only use a 6" pitch the spindle will look more like an All thread rod. there would not be enough pitch to make this spindle look pleasing to the eye. Im not saying you cant do it, Perhaps as a design element you may want something like this? Legacy in there training videos explain the process pretty well, as far as the math goes. I personalty like Mike Pungs version for ease of use. But it all depends on what you want to make. sometimes a flaw or mistake, from the original plan turns out to work out nicely for you. For this reason, I rarely tell people what I am making until the project is done, That way to 4 poster bed that I had planed to make, doesn't look as bad, when I show you the pencil box that I made. ;-p With all kidding aside, I have had a few mistakes over the years, that turned out looking very nice once the project was done. That's why I tell everyone to play with there machine a lot, once you understand the machine will to this.(X) When I do that.(Y) you can know for sure how the machine will handle under different operations, at any given time. I call it "PLAY TIME". Or Saw Dust Therapy. Go out there and make some saw dust, and then you will see what comes out form it. ;-) Have a great day. I'm going to go out there right now, and Play some more... ;-) Take care. C.A.G. On Monday, April 2, 2018 7:07 AM, Ira S.

I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to do rope molding. I have watched the video that came with the mill and it doesn't explain how to know the gear set and everything to know how to do a 6 inch diameter column . Maybe I'm just making this to hard. I know I should be able to do this without having to take the gears loose and using the index gear to index it then reengage the gears. Shouldn't I ? I n the video he uses measurements to do all this. He has a 3 inch pitch and adjusts it back 1 1/2 inches. Which I understand that being half of the 3 inch pitch and putting 2 passes on the spindle .Any help greatly appreciated.

A plunge router is a must unless you have a sliding z-axis. Then if you are going to add a z axis, make sure you know how you will attach the router. If the motor of the router cannot be removed from the router base and added to a z configuration, you really lost 80% of the advantage a z axis slide could give you. Look at all the routers that are being used in cnc as well as the Legacy and buy the biggest router you can. Don't skimp, too weak a router will make you not want to use the Legacy. Too much power just means the router can relax, not enough means you will push it one too many times and need repair or buy another one. Good luck Mike OK On 3/16/2018 11:16 AM, Ira S.

Look into the CNC world, they have some pretty awesome z-capable ideas out there. Most of them are pretty much plug-and-play. Mike OK On 3/16/2018 6:05 AM, Ira S.

I'm going to try and attach a picture of the mill. Hope everyone has a great day .
