I was trying to figure out how to adapt the LOM holder to my 4th axis on my CNC machine. I had one "accident" where a centered the piece in the middle of the woodinstead of at the beginning. Before I could stop the machine it hit the Nova wood turning chuck right where you stick the rod to tighten it. The other problem was that the LOM adapter is aMorse taper 2. It got loose and the piece was turning like crazy because the stepper was not controlling the cut. Anyways, with your idea I could get a steel rod, place it in the chuck and attached your adapter to the rod.That will give me some room for error if I error do the above mentioned thing again. (That's why I wished the Shark had limit switches).While we are looking at modifications. Anyone have an idea for a live center for the other side. I purchased one for the LOM but the Sharkjust has a pointed tip. I would like to make a live center for it. Again Curt, thank you for your idea. Harvey

Last week I posted a few home made (Steel) Shop Smith adapters that I have made. I got very little reply's to this topic. (even thought I was asked for the photos.) I figured it was mainly due, ToMost of our group did not have access to metal working equipment, So Today I made a new adapter for the Shop Smith and the Legacy, and I made it out of wood. (hard maple) It couldn't be easier to make, and the same design could be used on any wood lathe, no matter the type of lathe you have.Here are step by step photo's of the process.The only trick that may not be clear is once I drilled and mounted the blank on the lathe, I then centered the two adapters (SS& LOM) between centers on my lathe. I pressed the two together, leaving marks where I then used to drill my holes.Ive made many wooden face-plates and other wooden parts to hold items on the lathe in the past, I see no reason why this adapter would not hold up for years of turning. (and if it dose where-out, its easy enough to make again...) Have a great day everyone.C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
