Re: Our archives and posting ...
Also for this New members, here is a link to our old archives. https://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/index.html Just go to the photo and click on it to start reading some of the old topic. Its a lot of fun, and I personally have used this for a good deal of info. or as+ a refresher for new ideas. (sorta like a spin-off, Something Old becomes, New again .)The New archives are not as easy to excise as the old one where ,(mainly due to the size and amount of info, in it.)But I hope the goal can still be used by others, who want to re-read or look up a topic that we have talked about in the past. I'm going to bed now, talk to you all more tomorrow.Have a good night. C.A.G.

Re: Replacing the Legacy's lead screw
Hello Everyone. This Lead screw replacement MOD is a Very easy project for any one to try. It is not the End-All-Be-All of MOD's, but for small turnings this MOD can really help you out.And for the price? ($11.01 for a 3' acme screw.) I think it's well worth the effort. And the really neat part is, I can go back in min. to what My Legacy originally had. For my Legacy 200 its only two sets of set-screws that need to be loosened upso the leadscrew can be removed. And IF I did the same thing on my 1000ex. it would be just as simple. (the acme screw is longer, but only two set of screws are only needed to be loosened in orderto remove and replace this acme screw.) the split nut is easy to make, and even easer to switch form oneto the other.Something for everyone to think about? Why not try it ??? I plan to try to get into the shop tomorrow morning and do some more testing on this MOD.If I do I will let everyone know more, If I cant, my next day off is Sunday. And I promise, that I will be in the shop then. ;-) I think, Legacy Slogan is true. "Legacy, Where your only Imitation, is your Imagination". Have a good night. C.A.G.

"Well" I works! ;-) Before We go to far, Its not been fully tested yet. but it dose work on the test that I have done today. This morning, I started by removing my 5/8-4 Acme screw on my Legacy 200. And replacing it with a 5/8-8 Acme screw. Now what this is suppose to do is, It slows down the pitch by 1/2. What use to give me 4 rev. pre inch, it now take 8 turns to cover the same distance. So by using this idea, my smallest pitch will be being 1/2" on the chart, it will now be 1/4". (basically what ever the chart states, it will now be 1/2 of what the chart states.) I started off my day, by making a new slip nut for the 5/8-8 screw, (very simple process, We can go over the process latter if anyone likes.) Then I cut the new Acme screw to size, turned the ends to match the original 5/8-4 Acme screw on my 200. And then putting the hole machine back together, in the afternoon. OVER ALL it was a very quick job to do. NOW the reason why I did this? The Legacy was Originally made for making furniture. and other lathe type of work, The 4 threads per inch was prefect for large spindles, But when I started working on the small side of things with my 200, I found that the pitches were just to big. making a small rope on a Magnifying glass handle, The 1/2" pitch, did not look right, It was almost to large for the small spindle. Now this idea is NOT new, But it is the first time that I have tried it. Years back We (a number of people in this group) tried to find a better way to make a smaller pitch so you could get a finer/cleaner looking cut when using the drive motor and the Legacy's gearing. As a general rule of thumb the more cuts pre rev. the cleaner the cut. I found this Acme screw on Mc Master Carr web page. for $11.00. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/acme-lead-screws-and-nuts/?s=acme+screws I figured? what did I have to loose if it did not work? I still have all my original parts and it is a easy repl
