No motors, non desired. While it's not CNC or even consistentwith my other
motor driven lathe carriages, I'm reluctant to go into
that black hole. It's a hobby, a pleasant one, and while i really dodetest
tedium, there is a place for it. I've gotten used to breaking work periods
into small portions anyway because of ADD. This
tedium is somehow different and I'm wondering if it can be used
to train longer attention spans. It takes a great deal of focus to keeptrack of
indexing at these high counts, so manual gives time to thinkabout it. That's
probably the difference between this and other tedium that does drive me nuts.
RE: checkering bulge. The effect I'm looking for does not involvefollowing the
profile. The effect is the intersection of a straight carriage move along the
helix curve of the rotating work piece and the curved surface of the bulge.
The cut will start in the air, get deeper into the cut as it passes the bulge
and end in the air on the other side. The cuts will be tapered grooves that
change the appearance of spacing. We'll see.
Will be starting Christmas presents, so REVO tinkering will be intermittent.
Maybe can work REVO into some of the designs.

Thank you Dan.
Yes a template would be the best way to do what you are thinking about for the
bulged checkering. If you are going to go through all this troubles to make
this, You might as well start figuring out a better way to keep the pressure on
the spindle when cutting form the side. Perhaps a counter balance weight like I
use with my 200 ? this would let you keep a constant contact with the spindle
while cutting from the side with out having you push or pull the Carriage's/Y
axis while turning.
Last question, you are using a motor drive to run your machine while cutting?
Doing all that turning of the crank handle would drive anyone crazy! ;-)
Have a great day.

Great information Dan. Looking forward to what you create now that the R-N-D
is winding down. Now putting it in action for products. Thanks again.

Mornin' Curt. The cuts were unidirectional and the router turned off for the
backstroke through the fresh cut, no other changes. Except for moving the index
pin the sync was not broken at any time until the cross cut setup required
changing the reverse gear. Once the RH cuts were done, then it really didn't
matter if the LH cuts started in the same spot. I did try to line the first
cross cut to a previous start, but it wasn't critical.
I'll be trying this out on various shapes, the first being a checkered
"bulge"handle where the cuts run into and out of the bulge from above the
restof the work. To keep the cuts from too much depth in the middle the
bulge will be fairly shallow.

All the encouragement and helpful comments are much appreciated. Thank you all.

Hey Dan.I have a question? when running your machine, do you cut to a stop and
the reverse the screw to get back?Or do you in some way mark your gears, and
then return the carriage to the beginning?
I understand orientation of the gears and back lash could be a problem with the
screw, So I was wondering how you adjust for any slop/play/backlash in the
Legacy mechanical movement ?
Again Awesome job on this checkering.

Finished the cross hatch. Look at how sharp and crisp thediamonds are. This
raw off the LOM, no hand touch up.
The change in spacing is barely detectable from large to smallend of this 2

Here's the work so far. The taper is just a hair over 2° and I wonderedhow
much that would affect the spacing at the small end. I probablywon't see it
until touching up. You can see the tilt of the spindle railsthat put the
cutting surface parallel to the main frame. I'm going totry one with a
slightly increased taper and let the checkering fadeinto nothingness
And the chart update.DanKOn Thursday, October 26, 2023 at 5:27:07 PM UTC-4

Today I was motivated to checker an apple piece that I tapered in a typical
handle fashion. So using the Taper Chart sheet from the now named
"LegacyCharts_V10.4" I found that the upper limit to the REVO settings for
taper is 3/8", i.e. the spindle rails won't go clear up to the main frame
rails. So I altered the chart to give a warning about values that can't be
used. And while I was versioning, I decided that the name should be adjusted
to better reflect content.
These are the settings I went with and was anxious about accuracy of the taper
calcs. They're dead on!
This is what it looks like to set up. Needs pretty precise measuring.
My picture of the work got corrupted in transfer, so after supper.DanK
