Re: Mlcs power lift

2010-12-23 Thread curt george

Good morning Everyone.
The concept is good,and that was all that I was realy looking at.
I was thinking of the racking problem and the stops on the Z-axis that we 
were talking about earlier.
Perhaps a more robust router lift with bars and bushings could be the same 
things as the Z column dose?
You know the old saying, That there is always more than one way to skin a 
cat. Just exploring new idea.


I have to go to work early today.
Talk to you all latter.

I'm very skeptical of this new gadget.  The micro switch is not going to 
be
reliable.  Watch the readout when he presses the up button one time. 
First
time was no change, second was .001 then .006, then the third time it 
jumps
.009 then slips to .012 and slides to .011 and then it goes .018. That 
does

not seem fast or accurate to me.  I would guess if you turn the speed down
to less than 15% you could get .001 increments, but that is slow.

If I was designing this toy I would have used a choice of increment 
buttons

where you can move the router by .0001, .001, .01, .1.  Either that or
direct height entry.  How cool would it be for us to have a diameter mode
where it starts at zero which would be the center of our stock and as it
raises a half inch, it reports a 1 diameter.

I really hope there is a way to shut the beeper off or change the volume.
That would drive me nuts.   Otherwise, I like the concept, but the reality
is, IMHO, it might really suck.

I bet Tim is already on this one ,the mlcs does look kind of flimsy
.Not nearly as robust looking as Jessem lift or something from Incra.

OK guys. Im not going to do this, but wouldn't it be neat to have

something

like this mounted on the Legacy? You could control the depth of cut with
there digital scale, there is a depth stop... It looks to have everything
the Z axis has. (almost.)
Now back to reality. this system looks to be a little flimsy and there

realy

isn't enough room of movement to make it realy practical. but ... Its fun

to

think about.
any THOUGHTS on this one?

 Hi Carl,

 I am flying to Edinburgh where I was born and bred. Miss it so much,
 but saying that I live near Dublin in Ireland, so it is only an hour's
 flight. I've been to Dunoon and it is a beautiful little town. The
 ferry from Oban to Dunoon is a great trip (when the weather is fine).
 Back to woodworking, have the camera with me and will be watchful for
 any nice inspiring projects just as Curt suggested. Will upload
 anything interesting I find worthy of the group. Am about to leave for
 the airport - so wish you well and best wishes for the new year.

  This is just a short note to wish a very merry Christmas and new year
  to everyone in this group who all enjoy the wonders of the Legacy
  Ornamental Mill (or have just bought one and are impatient to get

  Christmas I wish you and your families all the best for the coming
  year. Good health to all.
