Thanks for the advice. I will start playing with it and see how it goes.

 

I am buying my friends mill and will take what I want from it for mine then 
part out the rest. Good idea to keep a lot of those drive hubs

Hello Again.

One more small note.

 

Uniformity is the name of the game when working with more then one machine,  

 

I made my own, Legacy hub adaptors for my lathe.  by using all the same parts 
will give you better control of the process of going from one machine to the 
next.  I like to cut profiles on my lathe, then rope or add Legacy details, and 
then go back to the lathe for sanding. by using the same hub adaptors greatly 
speeds up the process and gives you better results.

 

Between you and me. I think the Legacy drive hub are one of the best tools out 
there. they take up less room, will not slip, and make easy adjustments to any 
spindle when using a tail rest for support.

I own some 30 hub drives, and use them on both my Lathe as well as the Legacy, 
all the time. 

 

NOTE: No one tool is good for every job. But I do try to use what I have, to 
the Best of my ability, THE DRIVE Hubs, are one tool that many look down apron, 

 

Just my two cents worth. ;-)

 

Have a good day/night everyone.

Hello Chris

 

The Legacy and the Lathe can and do work well together.

 

Of a matter of course there is a slight learning curve to both machines that 
need to be understood, in order to get the most out of them.

 

For your friend, I would suggest the 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" flat bottomed plaining 
bit, They are the work horse of the machine, They do the most of the cutting, 
to get the wood round for the most point.

A barley twist or roping bits are always nice. as well as some side cutting 
reeding and coving bits. are nice for fine details,  

If you or your friend have any experiences in milling machines/metal working 
machines, the Legacy works very much like its metal cutting cousin in many 
elements of the milling process,

Also understanding the router table and how the rotation of the cutter will 
effect the cut. (climb milling vs under cutting.) will also help speed up the 
learning curve.

 

I highly recommend to "Play with the Legacy as much as you can to get the feel 
of the machine before you try to make anything for real.

I also suggest to use cheap wood, things like fire wood, scrap construction 
timber... before using good wood, that you have to pay for.

Depending on if you have a motor drive or manual. will effect how you plan your 
work out.  A a General rule of thumb , the faster the wood spins to the slower 
it moves over the wood will give you the best quality of cut.

 

Always take light cuts, for the best quality for cut, hogging off the wood, is 
faster but often will cause problems. 

 

Legacy made a lot of videos on VHS tapes, as well as on the web. that may be 
helpful for understanding the basic function of the machine.

https://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/index.html  has some neat topics that 
might help? as well as looking in our archives (It is not as user friendly but 
there is a lot more info. there for the having.

 

Here are three videos done by Mike Pung. There are some very good incites, that 
may help you get a better understanding of how the Legacy works.

I purchased a Legacy Mill (1100 I think) with a motor drive several years ago.  
I made a couple of things but then put it aside.  When my friend asked me to 
help him sell the one he bought at an estate sale it got me interested again.  
The problem is I feel lost.  Any clues on the best way to learn to use it?  
What router bits should I definitely have and what are nice to have? 

 

I am a turner and would like to incorporate the mill into my turnings, maybe 
carving some spirals into a vessel or bowl?  Is there a way to search this 
group to see what others have made to get some ideas?

 

Thanks for your help,

Chris
