Stop build it then fix any issues as they happen I think, a plunge router on a Z axis is needed if it’s a tilting router on the Z axis

They can be rotated to another spot and they will be like brand new. To all, Their were 3 designs that I’m aware of. The last design did have a plunge rod like the plunge routers to help with the plunge problem. Another more frequently written about is how the first version, there is a stop on the left side. In use, it is driven down by the power of the acme thread and that causes the router to plunge deeper. For that a showed an example rework of the stop. It’s somewhere buried in the old messages. It’s probably in 2012. I’ve never seen anyone use a plunge router in a z-axis design. I’ve thought about it and I think it’s not needed. Sitting in my shop there are parts for a z-axis for the newer style machines, but I’ve not finished the design yet. Curt keeps nudging with new ideas, and at some point you just need to freeze a design and build it. Fix any issues on the next one and hopefully the third one will work! -Tim From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Bob Mark Sent: Friday, May 8, 2020 11:33 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Question on the Legacy's Z axis I have the crank style Z axis with digital readout. It uses a height bar setup. You dial in the height and lock the bar. Then try to reproduce that height, no way. As the router drops, the z carriage cocks a little to one side and goes deeper than set. I have done all I can think of to take the play out of the carriage, but to no avail. When i purchased this upgrade i thought it was cool. Not so much now. When the router is running it will settle some on its own. I will eventually come up with somehing.

I was asked in a private e-mail about the Legacy's Z axis. The Gentleman owns a model 1200 and wants more... Now Everyone here knows that Legacy no longer sells the parts he wants. I suggested that the question be brought up to the group. (so that's why I am posting this question to the group.) Everyone here knows that I made my Own Z axis For my Legacy 1000ex. ,(So, I will be adding my own 2 cents on this topic latter.) Has anyone else made there own? or have any plans to try to? Part 2 of the question. A lot of people own the Original Z axis that Legacy made. What's the Pro's and Con's of it. What do you like and or dis-like about it. Is there anything about it you would change? and if so how? and why? Any and all ideas or thoughts are welcome. Have a good day.
