Re: Ornamental Mills Questionnaire
No Kidding? Lurkers? Because most members don't live, eat and breath LOM and fill out the questionnaire, you feel it necessary to shame them into compliance. I'm tired of the negative attitude this group fosters. If you are not bashing the maker of the LOM, you are criticizing the members that you don't feel contribute enough. Please remove me from the group.

Re: Help
> Richard, > I understand. I have the LOM 1200 with the motor driven spindle and also a rotating table that has a large variable speed DC motor to drive it. It takes 220volt ac and rectifies it to DC. Haven't used it as much as I thought I would yet.

Re: Help
Richard, I have a WoodRat 900 (WR 900) and immediately recognized the parts as the spacer height adjustment and the miter box MB3. I would be interested in the miter box if you don't need it. Please contact me and I could send a check for shipping. dwi...@hotmail.com Don On Monday, September 4, 2017 at 1:15:46 PM UTC-5, Richard Ellis wrote: > The items shown came with the Revo when I bought it.

Re: Accurate setup
Yes, I'm much happier with the finish now. Tim, when I took the router carriage off, there was about 2 inches of loose felt on all ends. At the time I thought maybe sawdust had gotten between the felt and the bracket, so I cut off the loose felt. I have always had problems with binding when pushing this hand, so hopefully that trimming also fixed that problem. I think I've finally disassemble and re-assembled every part on this machine now. :-) I appreciate all the help. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.

Re: Accurate setup
I have the exact same results with my 1200 LOM. I believe it has do with the router not being exactly perpendicular to the rotating stock. The side that has the ridge requires to be shimmed up. By that, I mean placing shim stock between the router and the router sled. I will be working on this on the upcoming weekend. When I mill to round a stock, I slowly move the router and quickly rotate the stock with the rotation coming from under the router bit and have the router slightly off center. This results in a spiral all the way down the stock. BTW, I have found a large tablet at Staples with a square grid pattern (close but not exactly 1"x1") that I use for drawing out the object to be milled. I use the bit template downloaded from this site to trace out the pattern. Not as good as having the Plexiglas, but is works. Sincerely, Don W.

Horizontal milling
I've had my LOM 1200 for almost a full year now and today installed the horizontal milling attachment for the first time. The pieces/parts were still in plastic bags. My project today was with relatively short boards, but I am planning on doing some much longer boards (rails and stiles on doors). My concern is that there will be too much vibration and deflection near the midpoint due to only being supported at the ends. Should I make a bed from plywood/mdf and if so, what is the best way to clamp the board being worked on? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
