Re: milling work, not on a legacy
Joe, is this your machine? I'd like to see more details of the cutter. In past articles of fine woodworking magazine there have been some articles showing some pretty crude router bits ground from files and loose steel pieces. A bit spinning at less than say 6-8000 rotations a minute could be relatively safe and still be able to cut even if the bit is unbalanced to some degree. With a single cutter we are really talking about a tool called a fly cutter. Wouldn't you agree? I also like the simple method of indexing the piece. Thanks for showing interest this on such a slow news month.

Re: milling work, not on a legacy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjX1wkF_nZg=youtu.be here is a video showing a French spindle at work...the difference being that this factory has flipped the spindle 90 degrees so the spindle is now horizontal... but it still is a single knife, ground to the desired profile(in this case a typical French style chair leg/back stile) placed in a slot in the spindle... the attached photo is from the same video... note how the leg is riding against the spinning spindle and the "pointer" sets the distance of the cut from the edge of the leg...this set up allows the leg to go up and down and in and out, to follow the complex curves of the leg... this is fast and easy, but requires a skilled craftsman to do this type of work... now it is computerized machinery that does the job, in a method that mimics what is in the video... progress?... I am not so sure... but we all carry on as a dying breed!...LOL!...my best to all...joe b. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.

Re: milling work, not on a legacy
Hi Joe I think Mike does, and has done something similar, when side cutting/routing.

Re: milling work, not on a legacy
hi Richard!... you can only do one reed or one flute at a time...unless you were doing a flat piece, like a pilaster that has three flutes, for example... just grind a single knife that would have three flute cutters with the proper spacing between the cutters...adjust the height of the spindle and begin cutting... the benefit being all is done in one pass... of course, this would be done when doing a considerable amount of footage...if doing a small number of pilasters, simply cut one at a time, adjusting the height of the spindle for each flute location...but if the piece is round, such as a leg, bed post, pole, vase etc., you can only do the one cut at a time, much like you would do on a legacy... the big benefit of using this type of spindle, is that you can easily grind the knife you need to any custom shape required to do any job... and that you only need the one knife, not two, as done on today's typical shaper heads...with the key factor that you only do small milling cuts into your work piece... it's when you begin to get "greedy" and use larger knives, is when this type of set-up is dangerous to use... again, none of this is directly legacy related, but there is/was a set up for use in a router that would allow a person to grind their own profile, which would mimic this operation and thus allow a legacy user to not be confined to existing router bits or having custom router bits made to suit their project...joe b. >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.

Re: milling work, not on a legacy
Very interesting, it's always nice to see other ideas at work. Does it do two flutes / reeds at once? On Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 4:53:22 AM UTC, Curt George wrote: > > ;-p Tongue?
