Hello again Chris.
One more note, along the router rotation, when cutting and you need a clean cut
edge, with no tare-out.
When cutting from the Head-stock side of your legacy, you cut form the back
side to the center line, When cutting form the tail-stock end, you need to cut
form the front side the center.I hope this is not confusing? try it. If you cut
form the back side of the spindle, the starting cut will be clean, but when
you get the end (tail stock) the router will lift up the wood and tare out the
grain making a very bad edge. So when I need a clean edge on the ends of my
spindles, I make sure that the cuts are made in the correct direction, to get
the best looking edge.Sorta like when cutting on the lathe, if you cut up hill
the wood can tare out. the router action is very much the same way/thing.
I hope this helps?
Have a good day.
C.A.G.

Using the gears will always leave a small blemish/ridge on your turnings. the
speed of travel with the gears is to slow (rpm of the wood turning,to the
carriage movement.) You can always sand (as Mike suggested.) or speed up the
rpm of the wood turning.(or the opposite, slow down the carriages movement.)I
can think of a number of different ways to do this. The RPM of the wood needs
to be speed up some. appx. 80-100 rpm gives you a very nice finish.
Try this .. turn the wood with the hand crank, and use the drive motor to move
the carriage. 80 rpm is pretty slow, what you want is 2-3 rotations per
movement of the router. I think you will find a big difference in cut quality.
At one time I had suggested to mount a bike chain to the indexing plate to
control the spindle's rotation.(human power,)( better to peddle then crank by
hand !.) today I use a second motor to turn my spindles when roughing or
turning .
The info on Climb milling vs undercutting is a good topic that also needs to be
understood when playing with this type of turning.
. talk to you more, latter.

To answer C.A.G. I am using the motor to turn the gears.
Think I got it 99% fixed.
Took out the router, cleaned up everything, put it back together and made sure
everything was level. Next I tightened the tailstock a little. Played around
with the Y axis until you can't see the ridges and can feel just the slightest
ridge that I should be able to sand out. Yeah!

Hello Chris.are you using the gears to drive the carriage/ router? or are you
turning free hand? (hand cranking.)

I'm a new owner of the Legacy 1000EX and have been practicing on some dry 2x2
Ash, turning it down for a shovel handle. I can get the blank round but still
have small ridges. I've followed the instructions to adjust the Y axis forward
or back which improves it somewhat, but doesn't eliminate the ridges. Am I
doing something wrong or will I need to sand them out?
