To make it easier to follow start your project with a round post mill the 
square spiral first then mill the ends square to mach then you will get it

Hello Guy's!  Sorry to be a late comer to this topic.

 

Emmanuel everyone has given you some good advice on this topic.

 

start with something you do not mind if you make a mistake on ... (scrap wood. 
or green wood. or at least something cheep.)

Set the LONGEST pitch  you can set on your machine. and Make lots of light 
cuts. nibble your way down to the finish size.

Here is a picture of a cup I made using a banksta pod.Inline image

Anything is possible, 

I wish you luck on your project.

Emmanuel,

 

Where the "corners" of the flats on the two ends meet up with the "corners" at 
the beginning/end of the Ribbon Twist, they will be the same.  However, once 
you start the Flat Ribbon twisting about the axis, you should see that the 4 
corners of the "Twisting" will end up beyond the flat faces on either end.  
Looking at your sketch - If the 5 5/8" is the correct measurement for stock 
that starts out as an 8x8, you will see that once the two ends are milled down 
to 5 5/8" square and you begin milling the Flat Ribbon, the "corners" of the 
Ribbon will extend above a plane that bridges between the flats on either end 
of the stock by approximately 1 5/16" at their apogee.

 

I hope I have not confused you and the issue.

 

Turn safely.

Mac

You are right Mac. In fact the post is 6x6 before milling. So I am a bit 
confused. If I want the twisted section to look like the picture twisted 
post.JPG ... width of strait and twisted faces seems to be equal on the 
picture. Optical illusion?

That's correct. 

I knew you'd discover that - that your starting stock would have to be 
considerably larger than your desired end state size - as soon as you started 
milling the 1.5 re right " piece.

I just didn't know the exact amount you'd have to add.  Again, once you do a 
piece in pine that's 8 1/2" x 8 1/2", you will find out how well that size 
worked to yield the finished dimension you seek.

 

That brings up a question:  Do you HAVE TO HAVE a final size of 6x6 - or do you 
have a piece of 6x6 and you want to make the largest 4-side flat ribbon turning 
from it that you can?  HUGE difference - as you have already seen.  If you need 
to start with a larger piece, why bother getting one that's been squared up?  
Instead, see if you can source a maple "log" (round) that's a tad larger than 
the diameter you will need to start with.  No sense in wasting money & time 
buying a squared up stock only to then spend time turning it into a round.  

 

Practice, practice, and PRACTICE!

 

Best of luck.  We all look forward to seeing photos of the various "practice 
pieces" you create - as well as the Final piece.

Emmanuel,

 

As Curtis would advise:  DO NOT "try" this (the ribbon cut) on your piece of 
maple - UNTIL you have tried it AT LEAST ONCE on an inexpensive piece of 6x6.

If you can't find an inexpensive piece that size - make one by gluing up 
several pieces of pine or basswood.

 

Personally, I recommend you actually start with a piece of 1.5" x 1.5" pine 
(inexpensive) and experiment to get a feel for the basic technique (like Bill 
was describing).  

Then, once you are comfortable doing it on a full length piece of the 1.5" 
stock, try it on a full sized length of 4x4 pine.  Again, you might encounter a 
glitch or two when milling this piece - but that's why you are using pine 
instead of your maple.

 

Then, once you have done a 4x4 with no "issues", give it a go on a 6x6 length 
of pine.  Be sure to pay attention to grain orientation when milling this piece 
- then apply the lesson learned when milling the piece of maple.  When you get 
that piece done to your liking, then - and ONLY THEN, chuck up you piece of 
maple and knock out your 6x6 piece. 

 

Like several folks here usually promote:  "PRACTICE - makes (close to) 
Perfect!"  So practice until you can knock it out of

 Hello Richard
I turned this cup on the lathe, after I thought I was done, this cup still 
looked pretty plain. So I thought the Legacy might be able to add some details 
on to this cup, So I used a scrap of wood and hot melt glued the wood to the 
bottom of the cup, Then I mounted the drive hub for the Legacy into the wood. 
(since the wood will not be spinning fast,like on the lathe, Close is good 
enough.) My 1000ex has a MT2 adapter on the tail stock. So I put a ball/cupped 
live center in my tail stock of the Legacy. then I found the soft ball and put 
that in the opening of the cup.  The reeding bit/ side cutter was used on the 
center-line of the cup. I set my stops, and started in the middle of the cut, 
first cutting t words the front, and then to the back.( this way there will be 
no burn marks at either end of the cup.)I used Mike's indexing method, I have a 
4" pitch. I set the handle on the acme screw (pointing straight up) made the 
first cut, then advanced the gears two rev. and then repeated...Over all I am 
very happy with the results, I have a number of Old bowls that I made years 
ago. none are anything Im proud of today, (all part of learning how to use the 
lathe. in the past.)  Today I hope that I can use the Legacy to bring a new 
life back into at least one of these past prizes. at the very least I can use 
them for show and tell. ;-) Here with the group.My hope here is , that perhaps 
one or a few of my ideas posted here can help others with in the group expand 
there knowledge/skills on that own projects.We will see.?.

No its done with a long strait bit cutting
from the side not from the top like the bit in your pic

There is stuff about cutting a ribbon twist
spiral in the archives of this group it explains a 2 start, but to cut a 4
start you rotate the work 90 degrees instead or 180 after cutting each spiral 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/legacy-ornamental-mills/ribbon$20twist%7Csort:date/legacy-ornamental-mills/xZDhgrJGKwU/2hqIhd3aGwAJ

 

A 6 inch square 4 start ribbon twist spiral
your strait or spiral cutter will need to be 6 inches long dia doesn’t matter
as your cutting from the side not sure where to get a strait bit that long and
it would take several passes it would take time to do

 

Anybody else know a easier  or better way speak
up  it might be possible to do cutting from the top but i have not done it i
would have to experiment and see if its possible

Bill, the funny thing is that I will have a CNC lathe in a few weeks. 
However, I like the idea of learning how to use the LOM anyway. I want to 
keep this "vintage equipment" and learn how to take the most of it. I just 
can't sell it! However I wish I coud start with an easier job... I will 
take my time and practice with smaller pieces first. I mainly work on 
commision so I generally rarely decide myself of what I need to craft. AND 
I do not have enough free time to "play" with it. So now I no longer have 
excuse no to use it because of my client.
By the way, on the market how much this kind of post would cost? Maple 
6x6x48 with a twisted section in the middle?

Thank you for the link and explaination. I also did find a very interesting 
method to mill square spirals from the top in your fantastic archives:

 

 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/legacy-ornamental-mills/ribbon$20spiral%7Csort:date/legacy-ornamental-mills/PxUTznao8-k/7lC6iTrAU5cJ
  

Despite, this will take quite long to mill 1/16 by 1/16...

 

Here is what Mike suggested in 2011:

"You can mill it from the top.
All you have to do is figure your pitch, lets say 12" then lets say you have an 
8" stock with a taper to 5" along a 36" length.  Use the tilt of the machine to 
make the taper.  Use a corebox bit to accomplish the cut.  Now you will need to 
round off the stock.  Your 8" stock will only yield a 5-5/8" square down to 
3-1/2".  Set your corebox bit 2-13/16 from center of the large end.  Now move 
the bit off center to where you aren't taking off too much wood.  It is just 
fine to mill both directions with this cut.  Make the cut and move the bit 
towards center 1/16 of an inch and cut again.  Move 1/16 go back 
~~~ until you are out of wood.  Rotate the piece 90º using the 
drive dogs and mill the next side.  It is going to take a while but the smaller 
cuts will give you a better finish.  Use the corebox for this and not the 
bottom planing bit.  When you are finished you will be able to drop a square 
across any section of the leg and it will be true.  It will look concave but 
the square won't lie."

 

A few drawing to better understand:

[Bill Bulkeley]

Good advice mac I totally agree especially if your new to legacy milling not a 
easy job for a newbie or even us more experienced guys that’s a big cut for 
side milling but with many light cuts possible i think  remember mill in one 
direction only you don’t want backlash problems

Emmanuel,

 

As Curtis would advise:  DO NOT "try" this (the ribbon cut) on your piece of 
maple - UNTIL you have tried it AT LEAST ONCE on an inexpensive piece of 6x6.

If you can't find an inexpensive piece that size - make one by gluing up 
several pieces of pine or basswood.

 

Personally, I recommend you actually start with a piece of 1.5" x 1.5" pine 
(inexpensive) and experiment to get a feel for the basic technique (like Bill 
was describing).  

Then, once you are comfortable doing it on a full length piece of the 1.5" 
stock, try it on a full sized length of 4x4 pine.  Again, you might encounter a 
glitch or two when milling this piece - but that's why you are using pine 
instead of your maple.

 

Then, once you have done a 4x4 with no "issues", give it a go on a 6x6 length 
of pine.  Be sure to pay attention to grain orientation when milling this piece 
- then apply the lesson learned when milling the piece of maple.  When you get 
that piece done to your liking, then - and ONLY THEN, chuck up you piece of 
maple and knock out your 6x6 piece. 

 

Like several folks here usually promote:  "PRACTICE - makes (close to) 
Perfect!"  So practice until you can knock it out of the park.

 

Best of luck!

Mac

No its done with a long strait bit cutting from the side not from the top like 
the bit in your pic

There is stuff about cutting a ribbon twist spiral in the archives of this 
group it explains a 2 start, but to cut a 4 start you rotate the work 90 
degrees instead or 180 after cutting each spiral 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/legacy-ornamental-mills/ribbon$20twist%7Csort:date/legacy-ornamental-mills/xZDhgrJGKwU/2hqIhd3aGwAJ

 

A 6 inch square 4 start ribbon twist spiral your strait or spiral cutter will 
need to be 6 inches long dia doesn’t matter as your cutting from the side not 
sure where to get a strait bit that long and it would take several passes it 
would take time to do

 

Anybody else know a easier  or better way speak up  it might be possible to do

Thank you Bill. Post is a 6x6 hard maple. I will have to make several passes to 
plan 6 inches wide for the ribbon spiral faces. 

Would you use a 1/2 long spiral bit and plunge the router or a wide knif (3 in) 
like the one like on the picture and move the router on the axis ?

Re: Flat twisted post

[MWF]

That's correct.  I knew you'd discover that - that your starting stock would have to be considerably larger than your desired end state size - as soon as you started milling the 1.5 x1.5" piece.I just didn't know the exact amount you'd have to add.  Again, once you do a piece in pine that's 8 1/2" x 8 1/2", you will find out how well that size worked to yield the finished dimension you seek.That brings up a question:  Do you HAVE TO HAVE a final size of 6x6 - or do you have a piece of 6x6 and you want to make the largest 4-side flat ribbon turning from it that you can?  HUGE difference - as you have already seen.  If you need to start with a larger piece, why bother getting one that's been squared up?  Instead, see if you can source a maple "log" (round) that's a tad larger than the diameter you will need to start with.  No sense in wasting money & time buying a squared up stock only to then spend time turning it into a round.  Practice, practice, and PRACTICE!Best of luck.  We all look forward to seeing photos of the various "practice pieces" you create - as well as the Final piece.Mac-Original Message-

Hi Bill

I have to make a garage door, 6ft 6 in. I am going to rout the mortices on the 
Revo  [It is a little too short] .It will mean taking the headstock and tail 
stock off.  The side rails of the door are 5 1/2 inches wide by 1.5 in. thick 
What do you, or any of the Revo owners think of my idea ??

I shall need to make some blocks to rest the rails on.

I haven’t run a set of micrometers over them yet to see how close they all are 
to size but so far a good set for the price

Re: Today's project

[Richard Ellis]

Hi Curt,
I like your cherry goblet .I am puzzled as to how you did the grooves 
following the shape of it.
I have not been able to get onto my Revo as of late moving house and a lot 
of work to do with it . All I have made on the LOM are twenty stair 
spindles.

Re: always wear your face sheld

[Joseph Greenleaf]

I heard of a man who gave his son safety glasses for his new construction
job. The son protested, saying he'd look like a geek. He wore them anyway.
That night he came home and showed Dad the ricocheted nail imbedded in the
lens...

Re: always wear your face sheld

[Dexter Bland]

This topic reminds me of a story I read several years ago.
A guy and his son are trying out a new lathe the father bought that had an 
electronic speed control that was not what the guy was used to. He chucked 
up a big piece of wood and started to turn it on then remembered to stop so 
they both could put on safety glasses. He then turned on the machine and 
stood back, not realizing that it was 10x's faster than he thought. The 
machine was so out of balance that is started walking across the floor and 
then threw the chunk of wood through the wall of the garage and falling 
over and unplugging itself. His son then turns to his dad and says "good 
thing we put our safety glasses on, huh dad."
