That’s what I would have used it for if I had it here a widened slab miller, I got this crazy idea of running 5 routers at once each one with a 2 inch planning bit
In so doing a 10 inch wide cut one pass so up and then back I will have milled a 20inch wide slab I get crazy ideas some work some don’t lolol Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.W.Foscue Sent: Friday, 30 August 2024 3:14 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: LOM Model 500 for sale Richard, Using it as an "ornamental mill" is one possibility. On the other hand, with "Slab Tables", Slab/Live Edge Shelves" being quite popular - the 500 could certainly be employed as a "slab flattener". Do you still have the LOM 1500? Guys like Curtis, "Down Under Bill", and ZZ Tim (cousin to ZZ Top) can all give you advice on how to make that function work with the 500. For instance you could make a "Slab Killer" that NY Joe (Biuno) would envy. Use the 1500's long rails to allow flattening of really long boards and marry it with the long rails from the 500 to allow you to flatten really w-i-d-e boards - using them to support the router unit - essentially making the 500's rails be the gantry housing the router. Best of luck to ya!

Sadly the 500 is not worth a lot of money, But like you pointed out this machine looks in very good condition, and it looks like everything is there. The 500 was made as an entry level machine, the plastic gearing and very limited taper ability's. are the weak points of this machine. Depending on what you want for it, this Legacy could still work out very well for someone. An example could be, as a first step on turning, on a production job. like table legs. this machine could do a good job on making the rough cuts, and then another machine, ether lathe or another Legacy could be the finial or finer elements needed? Richard what are you thinking you would like to sell this Legacy for? _____ _____ On Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 11:52:18 PM EDT, Richard Demerath <dickdemerath6...@gmail.com <mailto:dickdemerath6...@gmail.com> > wrote: I am presently downsizing and have a LOL model 500 for sale. Don’t know much about it but it appears to be used very little. Includes extra gears and measuring scales. This is an extra one I received when I purchased a LOM 1500.
