Ps Vadim,
Looking again at your pic of your mill the gears don’t look quite right can you also send a pic of that end of the mill too please Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of vside...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, 13 October 2022 9:30 AM To: Legacy Ornamental Mills <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Subject: New here, excited to learn from all ya'll experience and asking about some upgrades to my 1200 Hi everyone, I'm very excited to join the group and have been reading some of your past emails/posts, as well as general history of the Legacy ornamental mill. Bill, thanks for the recent posting of beginner/intro videos, super helpful and I'm looking forward to firing mine up and trying these techniques. A few months ago I was given a brand new 1200, still in boxes. A guy got it a while ago and then had some health problems and was no longer interested, so he gave it to me and declined payment only saying he'd love to see it when it's built. Well, I've finally set it up. Photo attached. One issue I've run into is with the elevation base and the support plates (plastic rectangles). The box included three screw support plates and one threaded support plates, instead of two and two of each. As a result, I have a working elevation screw on one side and a non-working one on the other. I was thinking of just buying a threaded collar that would fit the screw or finding a die/tap that would match the screw thread and making a new screw support plate out of wood or something. Or should I scrap the original elevation base all together and make something new that works better? And on the note of making it work better, I am wondering if ya'll might have a list for us new folks about general improvements. I saw a post about replacing the locking shaft collars with actual stop blocks and replacing the allen wrench cap screw on the elevation brackets with something with a handle for easier adjustment. Other than that, I haven't found much. Not sure if it was standard, but my 1200 came with a double locking collar and an indexing drive shaft (i think that's what it is). It also came with a Z-Axis Carriage Assembly to replace the original carrier tray. Look forward to learning from you all and seeing all of your projects. - Vadim (I'm in California, SF Bay Area) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
