Re: making a tap for the 5/8-4 acme thread

['joe biunno' via Legacy Ornamental Mills]

hey mac!...if anyone wants, they can send a request...but I strongly 
suggest sending a photo of their current split nut first, to verify that it 
is the same as I made...and how the split nut mounts into their 
machine...and as far as finding a relatively small piece of the 5/8-4 acme 
rod, I have not done a search for that, but I might guess, if it can't be 
found, then call the company that originally made the rods for legacy, back 
in the day...they are located in westbury, new York...the same place I got 
my 16ft. piece from...google "acme threaded rod westbury ny"...and perhaps 
they can provide a small piece...joe

Re: making a tap for the 5/8-4 acme thread

[MWF]

Hi Joe,Where's the link to the on-line order form for split nuts? I don't need any right now but it sounds like others do.Since a tap for 5/8-4 Acme thread is impossible to find, how hard is it to find that in threaded rod stock - say a foot long?Mac-Original Message-

ok, time to take the gloves off!...LOL!...I applaud all of these suggestions of how to make a split nut...epoxies(a bit too hard and brittle, in my opinion)...melting plastic and forming it around the acme thread?(seems a bit awkward and time consuming to get to the desired mass, then some time to shape it while also keeping the thread parallel and square)...these are all well and good if you are stuck on the island with Gilligan, the skipper, the professor and ginger!...LOL!...there is a reason the split nuts were made with a tap...it is the easiest and fastest way to do it...as mentioned, the tap took 1 1/2 hours to make...but that was a four flute tap...knock it down to three flutes and it is perhaps an hour...and I have seen situations where a one flute tap will work, especially when doing a slippery plastic like UHMW...and the plastic stock could be had for $9.00, which would be enough to make 9 split nuts...and it was purchased sized so that there was no work other than drilling the start hole, running the tap through, than cutting in the center of the newly formed tap...rounding off the two edges took all of 30 seconds...to make one split nut would take about  10 minutes...all these other methods, which I do applaud, do not seem practical...now, the only issue or difficulty anyone might have in making a tap, is getting the 4" to 6" length of the acme rod needed to make the tap...barring that, this turned out to be a no brainer to use a tap to make as many split nuts as I did...just can't see the logic to do it any other way...fire away at this post guys!...joe b.

Re: making a tap for the 5/8-4 acme thread

[CURTIS GEORGE]

Hello Mac 
I've been away for two weeks, and had not checked all my e-mails. I did not 
mean to steel you thunder on this topic. 

But as I said on the first half of this topic. epoxy putty's just might fill 
the gap... (excuse the pun) to make your split nut. (in my way of thinking, if 
it can be drilled and tapped,) I believe it too could be used to make a split 
nut for the Legacy. for the price of the product, either idea should work out 
well for this job. 

I mean even if you owned a tap, you would still have to work the part, after 
being tapped, to make it usable for the machine. 

More latter. 
C.A.G.

Hi Curtis (and all others), 

The HDPE route is what I suggested a week ago. And as for the cut-offs and 
shavings - save them and add them into the next batch you melt. The ultimate in 
a "recyclable product"! We can't really do that with our wood. 

By the way, if you want colors (or to make some "swirly" billets, check out 
plastic coffee canisters and other containers in your kitchen. Maxwell House is 
blue and Folgers is red. One of them sell their decaf in green. They are all 
HDPE. Check the bottoms of your plastic containers for the Recycle triangle - 
you are looking for the #2 - which is HDPE. I just checked my wife's laundry 
room - and there are a variety of colors in jugs labeled as being HDPE. So you 
have a wide choice of colors if you choose to make some split nuts (or anything 
else) from HDPE. 

Be aware that Tim points out that HDPE is not a particularly hard (durable?) 
plastic. But I think given the "price", making one this way might be worth the 
try - not to mention kind of fun. You can think of it as "big kids' Play 
Dough". 
And if it doesn't work well, melt it back down and make a Pulley, Pen, or 
Pepper Mill out of it. 
Since they put milk and coffee in it, I'll bet it is "food safe". 

I can't wait to see what "NY Joe" (Biuno) makes using the above. He'll probably 
go to a nearby car wash and get one or more of their 55 gallon drums made from 
HDPE. He'll then impress us, once again, with his wizardry and mastery of 
manufacturing. 

Have a great day everybody! 

Mac

Hello Everyone, Im back! ;-) 

Joe I like your 1x8 tap. I have made one as well, very much like what you show, 
and it too works well. 

But I have another idea to get to the same end. 

How about using an Epoxy puddy to make your half split nut for the Legacy? 

If you wax your acme screw well to epoxy will not stick to your lead screw. 
once the puddy is cured, it can be shaped and taped to fit your machine. I have 
no idea on how long this will last? but it will make a split nut easy enough to 
fit the bill. 

Another idea is to make a mold with a section of your acme screw and melt some 
HDPE old milk jugs. ??? much like what this man dose in this video. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erlZ-FdBB2I=61s 

Gota run now. 
Have a good day. everyone.

Re: Rotary Table Height

[Richard Ellis]

Tim The Rotary table is 13 1/2 " dia. The brackets that fix to the top and 
bottom rails are the same size and shape as the small table brackets.
I do think it will fit my Woodchuck , just need to make some extra 
braclets, if I did fit it the depth of plunge would be much more when 
routing out goblets or such.

Re: Rotary Table Height

[Richard Ellis]

Roger
We are not disputing facts, I was moaning about the lack of flats for the 
grub screws to lock to. It is in my opinion just a simple thing to do on a 
milling machine--- at no great cost, after all it is the little 
details that count, i:e after sales back up and just answering queries 
The Woodchuck that I have had the worst limit switches that I have ever 
seen, other than that a great machine.
The Revo is also a great machine and it just got me going when I found the 
lack of flats.
How many Revo's are there in the U.K. and as I have asked questions as to 
how many others have Legacy's on other wood working forums, only one reply, 
and he does not use it. 
Hence if I do put miy Revo  up for sale I just can't see the queue waiting 
to buy it.
I may be wrongI usually am

Legacy never sold a rotary table for Revo is BS unless the item shown in their 
instructions is non-produced.  It was smaller than the 900/1200/1800/1000 
machines.  Richard, can you photograph your rotary table?

Don't blame Legacy, they never sold a rotary table for the REVO. That is fact

When using the rotary table for the very first time, the handle came loose, it 
just did not rotate the table, it seemed as if it was only half on. so tried to 
move it nearer to the table-it would not.

Tried to remove it to find out the problem, it was quite difficult to get off 
owing to the burs on the round shaft. Why no flat for the grub screw to clamp 
on.?

Next---, went to fit the Universal joint to the spindle drive. did not go on 
far enough-- the round part of the drive had score marks because of the 
fact that the recess in the Uni joint was not deep enough.I then checked the 
main rod of the Uni joint. Have Legacy never heard of a milling machine and the 
fact that one should not grub screw to round shafts.

As you say it is a great little machine but it seems I am spending far too much 
putting Legacy's shoddy workmanship to rights.

It seems to me over the years they are in too much of a hurry to bring out a 
new model, instead of making the first one properly.

Hence feeling a bit peed off at the moment.

I did not want to alter the Revo, as Martin was promised it back if I decided 
to sell it.

Planing MDF is not a healthy thing to do unless well ventilated. I have been 
Routing a lot of Plywood and it upset me rather badly, a sore place on my face 
and a retching session, have just come back from the Doctor. Even though I was 
wearing a mask the air was polluted for a long long time

Am now thinking of selling the Revo and all the bits that came with it. as 
Martin does not now want it back..

Today I fitted my Rotary Table to the Revo. It does not seem to have much 
height for hollowing out bowls  only 21/4 "--- The other thing I have found 
,the waste board, it's 3/4 " thick and appears to have been glued on. I can not 
see any woodscrews  holding it,,. Is that normal ?

If I put a thinner waste board I could gain another half inch.

Is there another way of lowering the table ?

Cheers 

Richard

I assume that Roger sold the Revo that I have in the first place and that 
is where the rotary table came from.
