Re: Motor Driven Rotary Table - Couplings

Ray,

Note: What comes out from turning using a pair of Pilaster Dogs is not a "quarter round" (a quarter of a round piece of stock). 

The Dogs give you a much "flatter" piece - much more like an ellipse when viewed from the ends.

I hope that helps.

Mac

I'm thinking the pilaster dogs will be good for making some of the quarter rounds for grandfather clocks.  Could make four at the same time.

Bill,

That's a useful page if someone has the P.Dogs and is not sure how they are used.

If someone looks closely at the photo of the wall in the lower left corner - they can see two pilasters installed.  These appear to be fluted and give the appearance of small "columns".  Note - they are not a "column" that's been cut vertically down the center.  They are a lot "flatter" than that.  That's basically what a pilaster is.  (Bill, I know you know all this - just sharing it in case someone is not quite sure about them.)

Thanks for sharing.

The previous line of posts was getting pretty long so I thought I would start a new one on an entry from Curt. 

 

Curtis,  I found these "jaw couplers" in a bag of items that came with my 1200.  You had sent me some info Re; Kaman couplers which I appreciated.  As these came with my machine and some are still in the plastic I think these must be original to the legacy.  What do you think?  I noticed the Kaman had 3 prongs and these only have 2 prongs.  Is that an issue?
