It has been a few years since I have used mine. But when I did I drew a circle slightly smaller than the turning capacity of the machine, then made sure the parts would fit inside it.

Assuming a 4-sided Pilaster Mount. It appears to me that if you go to a pentagon shaped (or more) Pilaster Mount, you will reduce the max size that will fit between the rails.

Although we suggested make a core box to turn them, he thought it would be better to create metal mounts like Legacy’s but in the 5” and 6” range. So I created these. To turn the 6” pilaster trimming of the wood on the table saw was required. I also suggested to flip the mounts for the inner rails to gain an extra ½ which was all that was needed. I don’t have a picture of that. I even did a quick study of being able to turn more pilasters at once. I looked at 6 and 8 and decided the added cost of material and difficult level off setting up the brake was not worth it. If the modern models had more space between the rails and depth under the rails, the 8 sided model could have worked, but again, it was expensive to build. Another custom template that I made for the same member wanted a simple way to mark his wood stock. He wanted to be able to see if he could get the most out of his wood. So, I created this tool. It was good for up to 6”. The Legacy bolt pattern was also easy to mark out. In the case where the wood is a difficult shape is where this tool comes in handy. That’s it for today. I hope it gives some food for thought. Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
