Yes I see the thread just appearing down the centre of the rib very clever can you please post a pic of the T nut you used so I can see what type to buy I have a mod coming up that I need to stack a couple of rails together similar to what you did
Bill From: '[email protected]' via Legacy Ornamental Mills <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 10 June 2021 1:37 AM To: Legacy Ornamental Mills <[email protected]> Subject: Re: The Sound Of Silence & Roping hey Bill... let me start by saying that I don't have access to my Legacy on a daily basis... I was forced to downsize my shop due to economics and the legacy did not warrant a full time place in the new shop due to the little use it got... it is in a warehouse a bit upstate from where the shop is(110 miles)... I usually go up to the warehouse every other weekend(26 times a year!... LOL!)... and I believe you are referring to how I widened my "Z" axis... I began by cutting some small pieces of Legacy aluminum rail from a Legacy machine base that was not being used... these were about 3" long... I then used a "T" nut(McMaster-Carr) with a 10-32 thread that fit snuggly in the "groove" of the rail and stuck out far enough to also fit into the groove of the other rail... that was a bit of luck on my part... so basically, the two rails(the short piece and the originally piece from the "Z" axis) registered and self-aligned themselves... I then drilled a hole through the "spline of the Legacy rail to correspond with the location of the "T" nut in the short piece... doesn't show in the photo, but if you look at the vertical piece of aluminum rail in the same photo, you can see a bit of the 10-32, socket head bolt peeking through the center spline of the rail... in fact, I can see 5 drillings in that vertical rail... this was an easy, quick mod that took about an hour... no special tooling, machining or welding was necessary... and made a big improvement as to what was happening below with the router... and also gave me the room to angle the router, when that was needed to do spiral cuts from the side... at this moment I cannot take better photos to show all of this, but I hope I have explained it... and when completed, the "Z" axis was rock solid, no deflection whatsoever... any questions, please ask...

Nice Video Bill. Tim I have roped form the side on a few small turnings. the methods are very much the same as roping on the top. with one BIG difference, the Y axis controls your depth of cut, when using a template, this is an Awesome method of turning. (even on a tapper) As far as stabilizing the turning to stop vibration, The thin stock support brackets were made to do that, But??? there are other ways to get the job done. There are a number of factors that all need to be looked at, direction of the cut, is something that is over looked a lot when cutting. (before we go off topic to far. I think I will stop with this.) The way you cut on the wood will effect the quality of what you are making, being it Roping or just turning. Its something to think about. talk more latter. Have a good day. C.A.G.

Bill I too have Tinnitus, as well as High Frequency Nerve damage to my hearing. (for me the noise NEVER Stops. Just something that I have learned to live with.) But with this song, the silence is not... ;-P Can either of you offer another method on Roping that you like to use? I have another method that I like to use, that I did not state earlier. but others in the group may not like this method, mainly due to it uses jigs that I made my self, that could be a bit tricky to explain and even harder to get people to make them for them self's. Sorta like the Wave attachment. Its very cool, And a lot of fun to use, but most just don't want it. for some reason or another ? Have a good night. talk to you and all more latter. C.A.G.

I started posting this to the group, As a play on words in the title of the song.(of silence...?) But after hearing the song (it is NOT the song I remember.) I find myself strangely moved, to the power of the music. I was sent an e-mail today asking about roping on the LOM. I have found a number of different method to work very well for me when roping, All depending on the size of the spindle you are working with. each method has it own advantages... For small ropes (under 12" long.) The best way that I have found is to , run/cut the rope on our spindle, to the limit switch,(or stop, if you are cranking my hand.) then reverse the carriage (by the way of the Acme screw) and bring it back to the start, then I use my set-up spacers. to advance the carriage forward, then locking the split nut and re-winding the carriage to the stop/starting place. to cut again... Mike Pung's, Crank handle indexing method also works very well for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o&t=14s> &t=14s As well as my Sharpie marker method, Used on the wave attachment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWq7eCpLMuc <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWq7eCpLMuc&t=298s> &t=298s In the Photo's the spade bits that I use for my spacings. And a bone turning, (8 start, 3" pitch with a 3/8" spacing/spacer.) Have a good night.
