Re: Lead Screw

[MWF]

Great tip, Bill.I assume just one of those three sections can be a direct replacement for the "Y-axis" screw?Will the split "nuts" screw smoothly over/across the "joints" between the sections?Thank you for sharing.Mac-Original Message-

Hello All,   Some time ago there was a thread looking for a source for lead screws.  I didn’t follow it too closely, so I don’t know if a good source was ever found. Well, to the point.  Today I purchased a new screw drive garage door opener. It came with, you guessed it, a nine foot lead screw. The lead screw is in three foot sections that interlock to form one screw, and is steel, one half inch diameter, and has eight threads per inch pitch. If this would work for use, I would guess that there are old screw drive garage door openers out there.   Bill

Re: Z axis template follower

[CURTIS GEORGE]

Very Nice Joe. 
Can you take a few more pictures of your 90 deg. tilting mech. of your Z axis? 
(that really looks SWEET! ) I honestly believe that turning on a face plate is 
one major piece that Legacy missed out on with there old machines. (OK I know 
that I will hear,complaints on this one, Legacy made the turntable to do stuff 
like that... But its not the same!) I think you will be surprised on how handy 
it could become... 
Keep up the good work. 
And Thanks for sharing .

Subject: Re: Z axis template follower 

today's progress/update...again, not a lot to show...received the linear 
bearing carriages a day or two early so that was a nice surprise...set the 
bearings into the rails and re-attached the router carriage assembly and the 
rear plate to the Z axis...took out the top hats and drilled out the holes on 
the router assembly plate to 1/4...marked the second hole on the plate and 
drilled those holes, also 1/4...ran a 1/4-20 tap into the existing,linear 
bearing carriage mounting holes that are pre-drilled...this was a snap as the 
carriage is made of aluminum...reassembled everything...took the old lead screw 
from the Y axis and set it in place of the original, shorter Z axis 
screw...did not have to turn down the ends to 3/8, as i thought...they were 
already turned to 3/8... this was a straight swap...needed to add a spacer 
black to shim out the black, threaded block that the lead screw goes into 
to...approximately 3/4...this will further project the center line of the 
router bit an additional 3/4, but it is a necessary evil...with the rotary 
table, the multi holed height plate and now the linear bearings, the router bit 
center line is really out there...but the bearings help quite a bit to 
compensate for the offset and the weight distribution problems it creates...and 
i anticipate the counter weight will help out a lot, as well...but i will be 
able to turn a 19 faceplate and have the router reach down and cut into it 
with the router bit being 90 degrees to the faceplate...and if i should ever 
need to do that before i die, i'll be as surprised as anyone else 
here!...LOL!...anyway, next up is the counter weight, chain and sprockets to 
set up the balance action for this mod...that will present some challenges, as 
i can now see how that might come together...and it looks like it might not be 
so pretty!...thanks for the read...joe

Re: Lead Screw

[CURTIS GEORGE]

Hello Bill 
That could be something useful to one of our group? although the Legacy acme 
screw is 5/8x8 so a new nut and hook up to the carriage, will be needed if 
...? But anything is possible. 
Thanks for the idea.

I have owned a Legacy model 1000, one of the real old ones and I have only used 
it once. I would like to find a reason to use it more and possibly convert it 
to CNC. Thanks

Hello and good morning Harry 
Welcome to the group. 
If you want to find out more about your Legacy Ornamental Mill and how to use 
it. You have come to the right place. We have over 300 members, ( you are the 
379th person in the group.) All of our members can offer at least some info on 
things that they have done and problems that they have run into with in a 
project. Our goal is to Help,Learn and Grow as woodworkers, using the Legacy 
Ornamental mill to its fullest potential. 
Now depending on the age of your mill, turning it into a CNC unit would be 
somewhat difficult, But nothing is impossible. 
I suggest to have you go through our archives and start looking at what has 
been covered in the past. I personal y feel our archives is a treasure trove of 
information. So feel free to search through the archives when ever you want. If 
you have any questions or info to add, Please feel free to do so when ever you 
can. Everyone has there own experiences and knowledge that can be shared,No 
matter what you skill level, You just might have the one insite that can help 
someone else out of a problem, so I suggest to have you post any info. that you 
can. in that way we all learn. 
Again Welcome to the group. 
C.A.G.

Re: Here is an Oldie - but probably a Goodie!

[CURTIS GEORGE]

Nice Find Mac 
Although the price is a bit high in my way of thinking, There is a lot or parts 
there...So I might be all worth it? 
Having said that, the wood chuck has some down falls, con paired to the 
Legacy's later models. (just to note a few, the steel rails flex a lot, and the 
carriage dose not have any hold down, so It must be held down on the rails 
while cutting.) 
But there are also some pluses with this WoodChuck too, larger turning dia. It 
has a motor drive,The carriage can be easly removed. Also one Big note On this 
machine, the WoodChuck has a bronze bushings in the head stock, something to be 
aware of, if thinking of high speed turning, like sandingthe bushings will 
ware... 
Thanks Mac FOR Keeping a eye out for all of us. I personally will let this one 
pass, but just perhaps someone out there could us this one? 
Have a good night. 
C.A.G.
