Sharper cutters and slower rpm helps that too when I do the big 4tpi threads I’m running the router on its slowest speed and a very very slow feed rate
Chipping is a much more of a problem than burning lots of thin ca glue helps too it also might help you on the rosettes as well, paint them with ca just before a last 10 thou finishing cut. If you don’t intend to ever coat your threaded project with anything but an oil before you finish the thread submerge it in a wood oil in a pressure pot over night to saturate the wood with oil it should really help with woods that chip bad but I like a bit of a polish so I don’t do that.

I'd like to see a lot of the past stuff. I also want to start a post about raising and lowering the Z access with either the hand wheel or motor. But effective enough to get out of cut before it burns On Thu, Apr 22, 2021, 7:43 AM <bulke...@mmnet.com.au <mailto:bulke...@mmnet.com.au> > wrote: I changed nothing they just replace the legacy gears on the mill.

Now this was for me only so sorry if its not all that clear to follow but I thought I might share, one or 2 of you guys might like it I added a few pics to help. This was pre fire so no more info sorry. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
