I could see a challenge where you are asked to create a project like a clock and post pictures by the end of each month. There's really no winner or loser, but more of a chance to get more than one person working on the same thing. That way sharing the frustrations or tricks needed to make the project could help others learn and inspire other to dust off the idle machines and try something new. Maybe it could go as far as making plans and demonstrating a project and then the members can show us their own versions of the project.

Hello All, As one who owns both a 900 and an Arty 58, this development is something worth watching. I'm relatively new to both, and I would not trade my 900 for an Arty alone, and would not own a cnc unless I wanted to make some money. Unless the middle rails are realigned and the brackets lowered, the max. turn size on the Shadow would be six inches. The way it's made, it is easier to fix a tailstock on the wall and maker a longer column on the Arty than the manual machines. (For you alter-the-machine fellas!) If they move the rails, the column diameter could improve dramatically. But then again, that would make it harder to upgrade to the cnc. So the decision that they make will be interesting. Presumably, the Shadow would come with rack-and-pinion, especially if it's going to be an easy upgrade. This would mean that the leadscrew is history as well as the router table as we know it. I like the 900, including the rotary table that I originally thought I'd sell. As for the cost of the CNC. Folks, the 179 tax break Legacy talks about is real. And the use of your shop for business purposes creates another write off for the home. And shops do not have to be finished to get the tax write off. (Of course, this is USA tax stuff thanks to current tax laws.) Sell a few posts, and a number of people here do seem to sell parts and finished stuff, and you will have a cnc for less than the price of the old 1800. Do fairly well, and the machine will pay for itself quickly enough. By the way, I use my 900 to make almost all my blanks round. It moves faster than the cnc, which has the edge for accuracy in turning. (Of course, you seasoned woodworkers--the John Henry's of sawdust--can probably out do the cnc in terms of quality and speed!) For me, the combo is working out well. I don't mean to quit my day job, but it's nice to make side money in an economy in which pay raises don't exist and to keep more of what I make on my day job through tax write offs. If I had to have one machine, it would be the 1200 with a motor and it's tailstock on the garage wall It would be more limited in designing than a CNC, but it could turn 11 inch columns something that you'd have to buy an Artisan to do.

If your cranking back and forth you can save time by using a split collar to mark your starting point on the leadscrew and marking the top of the leadscrew so you can engage the nut and get the same results.

RE: pen marking jig
It use with the rotary table I guess you could use it on turning stock also but it allows me draw the path of the router bit before I cut so I can see if my set up is what I want. I will post a few scans next week to show.

RE: storage for parts on legacy

RE: Tim's quick change reverse gearing
Good point, I will make myself more aware of that issue but I do not have a motor and I have not seen it as an issue but it is something I should be aware of. I just had a lot of stuff piling up to post so I am trying to get it done. Still have one more to post of my pen marking jig for the rotary table.

Wow there is a lot of message traffic today, Doesn't anyone out there work? :-) I feel like Im a late comer here. Lots of nice pictures, Thanks too both of you (groovywood Bill Bulkeley) for all the great topics today. I would like to key in on the driving the gears in the up ward position. I've tried it, and quite honestly, I find the gears get in my way. I like to work from the end of my machine, and the gears up, block not only my view but Its also pretty scary being eye to eye with a set of teeth that could bite you if you are not paying attention to what is going on at the moment. Now having said that, the up-ward position dose seem to help set the teeth of the gears while in motion. Perhaps I should make a guard for the gears and try using then that way for a while? but with out a guard on them, its something that Im just not willing to chance. That's just my two cents. O by the way I too own one of the QC gear changers made by Tim. (If I have to admit it, his unit looks 100% better than the one I made,having the steel laser cut realy makes the difference! And I wouldn't trade this one for the world,Its one of my best toys that I use often on the Legacy.) talk to you all latter.

It also seems to help me make sure all is engaged before i start by feeling the gears and trying to move them. Key word is might if something not tight it will usually skip a tooth or 2 then it becomes a variable spiral spaced item which i have done a few of.

RE: advice wanted
A couple of pieces of information needed Thickness of wood, if wood is thinner you will not be able to use any larger bits for rope molding, for large columns usually the large rope bit is better (this is the one legacy sells 2 bits to make one start) and with the largest pitch you can since they are 10' tall. (opinion expressed to me anyhow) If you have those 2 then a 3 start column may look good, look like big ship ropes going up. What rope bits do you have? Again for larger items larger bits usually look better.

RE: Rope column
Someone will need to verify my math but I think the equation is: (Number of starts * Bit Diameter)/ 3.14159 = diameter of column 8 starts you need a column 7.6394 in diameter for them to be real darn close. Again someone needs to verify. Hope I am not leading you wrong.
