Hello everyone,

I recently acquired a Legacy 1000EX with floor stand & a Porter Cable 7539 
router. The seller is in the process of moving & selling off his shop. With all 
the distractions of selling his home, tools, & packing to move, he was unable 
to locate the owners/set up manual. He gave me several informational VHS tapes, 
but they do not address the basic set up info & techniques I need to get 
started & understand this machine. I have searched on line to no avail for this 
information. Assistance in this matter would be much appreciated.
,
I retired on June 30th, after 20 yrs as a Hospice Nurse, & have been an on & 
off woodworker for many years. I now plan to dive much deeper into the hobby.

I am working on setting up a permanent shop with the 1000EX as it's focal point.

In addition to my new mill, I also have a Shopsmith with most accessories, (I 
inherited it from my Father in law), a 70s vintage Craftsman table saw, three 
wood lathes, mini, midi, & full sized with a 72" bed, planer, oscillating 
spindle sander, router crafters, router table, several routers, drill press, 
miter saws, dust collection, & many other small wood working, wood carving, & 
mechanics tools. I may need to do some downsizing myself!

I plan on making walking sticks, wands, flutes, children's furniture, & wooden 
coffins/caskets. 

My other passion is antique clocks. I play the drums & the lap dulcimer. (I may 
try my hand at making dulcimers, as well.)

I look forward to participating in this forum.

Thanks,

Stan the Man (Many people call me that, even if they don't know who He was.)

Re: Make a "Split Nut"

2017-08-05 Thread Stan Shuford
3D printers can use several types of filament. They range from flexible to
very hard in many colors. There is also a nylon filament.
Joe, I haven't seen delrin or teflon listed but I suspect there is
something similar.
You can use Sketchup to design almost anything and save it to a .stl file.
I just got my printer recently and I've only used
PLA filament which seems to be very rigid and easy to work with. It's
amazing what it does. I've been making some gears and racks for a small
machine I'm building - a total of 59 parts so far. I think that a split nut
would be fairly easy to do. Look at www.thingiverse.com to see what people
are printing.

Re: Digital Woodcarver 4 axis CNC

2016-01-25 Thread Stan Shuford
I was not aware of the 17k price tag for the Maverick. That's well beyond
my hobby budget.
I thought that Tracy had said that the price is lower than the Arty price
but not sure what that means.
He said that they are not taking Artys in as a trade-up because the
Maverick would be a "trade down".

Re: Digital Woodcarver 4 axis CNC

2016-01-24 Thread Stan Shuford
Legacy's new Maverick CNC machine looks to be the best. It looks like it is
built like a tank which is
very important in a CNC. It has a built in turning center and a large bed.
If I didn't already have an Arty
it would be my choice. No other company does the CNC training that Legacy
does and the on-line support
is very good. They have a person (other than the sales guys) that answers
support requests.

Re: Explorer CNC News

2015-01-07 Thread Stan Shuford
Tim, Tracy said that they are in the process of updating their website, He
announced that at the online class yesterday. The first part of the upgrade
is on legacycncwoodworking.com. There is a new tab thay reads "Support
Ticket". We can now submit a problem or question which goes to Tracy and
will be tracked for closure. Hopefully this will resolve some of the slow
or no response from phone calls/emails for support.  Other website
renewals/upgrades will be phased in according to Tracy, including the
machines section.

Tim, I would love to see you get into the CNC thing with several of us. The
learning curve would be easy for you and it adds
a large new level of capability to your woodworking. Here is a link to a
picture of my latest CNC project for a local church children's minister for
Advent.
It is made so that the kids can remove the candles and the "flame" is
removable so that they can "light the candles".

I was there also. Got to say "hey" to Andy, John and Chris - Didn't see
Tracy but he was there. Picked up a Bosch variable speed Colt for $89.00.
CNC machines are taking over - almost all hardware manufacturers have one
now. There were just a few at the last show. The show is so big it is
impossible to see it all in 1 day but a great way to get your woodworking

Re: Shop made Z-axis

2014-08-18 Thread Stan Shuford
Here is a link to a shop made router lift. Turn it over and and it could be
a Z axis. At least some of the mechanics could be part of a
Z axis design.
http://www.americanwoodworker.com/blogs/projects/archive/2009/04/21/the-aw-shop-made-router-lift.aspx

A good Z axis cannot have any flex or give which requires rigid
constrution, solid material and tight tolerances in all directions along
with easy up and down operation and a
solid stop mechanism to hold a setting without slipping. All of this is
extra critical on CNC machines as the forces are mutiplied. They usuallly
are made of steel or aluminum and have linear bearings.
All of ths is why a pre-built z axis is so expensive. BTW, I just noticed
that Amazon is selling Chinese made linear bearings at good prices.

will help. Aspire (my CNC software) has recently announced Sketchup import
for tool path generation. Haven't tried it yet.
Thanks!

Re: Legacy CNC Arty 58" for $6500 in Syracuse, NY

2014-01-29 Thread Stan Shuford
You're right Bill, you can program a CNC to do a taper without tilting. It
would take a lot longer to do and would generally require more sanding. As
Mike said, working on a level part makes a big difference allowing the use
of router bit profiles as well as rope and barley twists. The are several
machines with a 4th axis and it is possible to add a 4th axis to a 3 axis
machine but, as for as I know, Legacy has the only 5 axis machines. The 5th
(tilt) axis is really easy to use with Legacy's CCAM software.

Re: New Members and Moderation

2014-01-28 Thread Stan Shuford
Tim, the tool allowance function is built into he cad/cam software, not
Mach. I use Aspire but Artsoft Express and V-Carve Pro all have the same
tool allowance capability. I make a test cut, measure it and enter half of
the difference for the allowance, either positive or negative.
As for Legacy's training, I am a subscriber and attend most classes held
every Tuesday and Thursday at 4:00PM Mountain time. If I miss a class, they
are all posted later and available to view anytime.
You don't have to be a subscriber to attend the classes but you do need a
password which you can get for free by calling Legacy. It will also allow
access to the forum. Every class is posted to the "class review" area for 2
weeks which anyone can access. After 2 weeks they go into the "Projects"
area which is subscriber only access.
The classes include machine setup and calibration, software training and
the projects. Most classes are taught by Tracy and some by Chris and John.
At the end of each class they take questions about anything for as long as
necessary. The classes have been extremly helpful to me and well worth the
cost.
Even if you are just curious there is a lot to learn in the classes. You
don't have to own a CNC machine to attend. Its a good place to kick the
tires. It is not unusual to have 50 or more in a class.

Joe,
There is a big difference in noise, especially from the big PC routers.
 More like any high speed electric motor whine.
Hearing protection is not required. I haven't dome a DB check on it. The
noise comes from the bit cutting the material which, of course, depends on
the material and type of cut.

Machines for sale

2013-08-29 Thread Stan
All of the talk about machines for sale reminded me that I need to sell my 
1000EXL. It was CNC'ed but the motors and controls are missing and now just 
taking up space in the shop. I have a lot of attachments, brackets and 
options. I'll get it all together soon and post it here first. I thought I 
would use it but since I got my Arty I've found that I can do so much more 
and a lot easier too. For example, I just made baseball bats for all 5 of 
my grandsons with their name carved on them.
For those who have a Legacy CNC or are thinking about a future move to CNC, 
Legacy's new Lifetime Training is worth looking at. I am very pleased with 
what I've seen so far. You don't have  to own a CNC machine to attend the 
classes and they are free. Tracy is teaching them so far but John and Chris 
teach also. Its a valuable resource and I don't know anyone else in the CNC 
industry that is doing anything similar. I subscribed to the "paid" version 
because I plan to make some of the projects and I want to get all I can out 
of it. I think that this is a high level of customer service that has been 
missing that will bode well for their business. Its also a big effort on 
their part. I think that young people getting into woodworking today will 
consider CNC  as necessary as a table saw. I consider myself to be one of 
those young folks (at 72).

Re: Finishing Help Needed

2013-03-09 Thread Stan Shuford
Hi Brandon
You've got a major project there. Staining can be a big problem when
it come to consistantcy. Used wood sometimes requires stripping away
all old finishes and oils.
Another trick is to apply a washcoat of shellac in a 1 pound cut. The
can from the big box store is a 2 lb. cut so you would do half
denatured alcohol and half shellac (de-waxed). When I need a
consistant stain to a project that has different woods - such as a
windsor chair with 3 different woods, I go with a dye instead of a
stain and it comes out perfect.
Good luck!
Stan

I use Macmaster Carr frequently. Good service and quick delivery. They
must have a warehouse close to me. I have made several of the Vectric
projects - I use Aspire. The little sanding flappers work good but
they wear our fairly quick also.

Thanks

2013-02-06 Thread Stan
Thanks for all who attended and I'm sorry some had a problem. 
Congratulations Tim. I can't wait for Tim to share his impressions and 
experiences with his Evo.
Based on Andy's comments about CNC, maybe those of us who have the CNC's 
could share pictures of projects along with the process involved.
Of course, that's up to Tim and others but I don't know why CNC should be 
excluded.
I tried to record the audio but I had technical problems and all I got was 
garbled gook.
I think overall it was a positive experience and a relations builder.

Our Discussion Meeting with Legacy

2013-02-01 Thread Stan
Our call with Legacy is Tuesday (Feb 5th) at 4:00 PM Mountain time.

Here is how to join in. Go to Legacycncwoodworking.com. Under "CNC101" you 
will find "On-line Training" .
Click on that and you will see Steps 1, 2 and 3. The first step has a 
tutorial by Tracy on how to use the WebEx system and get it set up on your 
computer.
Step 2 will take you to a WebEx list of events. Our event is not listed yet 
but will be in time for the meeting. You will not need an access code.
Step 3 is your registration page.
*Please go through these steps today or as soon as you can. *If you have a 
problem, please email or call John at Legacy for help. 
There is a calendar of events but our event *will not* show up there. It 
will be on the WebEx list of events (Step 2) and you will click on it there 
to join in.
Anyone can join in even if you didn't sign up with me. If you just want to 
listen to the discussion, that's OK.
Make sure you get your questions to Tim before Tuesday so he can get them 
to Legacy so they can be prepared.

Thanks
Stan

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

2013-01-25 Thread Stan Shuford
I think Tim's idea of sending him your questions and letting him
consolidate and remove duplicates is a good idea. He can send a copy
to Legacy for their preparation.
In the classes they are very good at making sure questions are
answered thoroughly and everyone understands.
We will post specific directions for joining the class. In the
meantime, check out the "legacycncwoodworking" web site for the
process of joining a class.
Legacy usually records the classes. They will have to tell us how to access it.
All I know is that 4:00 Mountain time is 6:00 Dinner time at my house.

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

2013-01-24 Thread Stan
OK guys, here's the plans for our on-line meeting with Legacy.
The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 5th at 4:00 PM Mountain time.
Andy, Tracy and John will attend from Legacy. Because of their travel for 
the Woodworking shows, this was the only option to get time with them.
I think that having all three of them is great and shows their interest in 
our group.

The agenda for the 1 hour is:

- 10 min on the Evolution machine.
- 10 min. Q&A
- 10 min on CNC
- 10 Min Q&A
- 10 min on older equipment
- 10 min Q&A

Please think about questions you may have and be prepared so we can make 
the best use of the time we have.

I'll follow up later with the details on joining the session.
Thanks to all that responded. 
Yes Tim, I included you. Sorry Cole, I know Tuesday is not good for you.

Stan

Discussion session with Legacy

2013-01-18 Thread Stan
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I attend many of the on-line classes 
that Legacy holds on CNC projects. Tracy, John or Chris share their 
knowledge and take time to answer any questions from the group. It is a 
great format for discussion and learning or just Q&A. 
In a recent call that I had with John at Legacy it was suggested that we 
hold a similar on-line session just for members of this group with John and 
Tracy. 
Possible subjects are:
- CNC versus manual machines and the learning curve.
- The future of manual machines.
- The Evolution machine and it's capabilities.
- Support for the older machines.
If you have an idea for a topic please let me know. There would also be 
time for questions on any subject of interest. 
The challenge is to find a time that most could meet. The classes I attend 
are held at 6:00PM Eastern (4PM Mountain) so we could do the same.
The date depends on their schedules.
If there is enough interest from the group (lets say 20 or more), I will 
work with John to set it up. 

Let me know what you think and if you are interested in attending.
Thanks,
Stan

Congratulations on your purchase, George. You could start out with VCarve 
Pro. Vectric will upgrade you to Aspire if you decide you need the 3D 
capability. That's what I did. John knows Aspire much better than I do and 
he is also good at teaching it. Spend some time reading the Vectric forum. 
It's a great place to learn with some very helpful folks.

George, to answer your question on what comes with the Arty, the package 
price on the web site is for everything assembled and tested.  That 
includes the machine, computer and router or spindle, software including 
Conversational Cam and a trip to Utah for a day of hands-on training. The 
software is installed with the capability for Tracy to log on remotely for 
trouble solving. I sent them a computer which helped pricewise but I did 
purchase their water cooled spindle because they were running a special on 
it. I also already owned a Mach3 license. It comes with their "Smart Tool" 
for Z axis setting. The legs were included and installed.  There is a 
manual so you can verify axis calibration and other settings. Over all it 
is a nice package in a ready to run condition. It is very solid (and heavy) 
with all welded construction.

Re: The miniArty

2013-01-11 Thread Stan
Bill, some of the Legacy on-line classes are on the website under "Videos". 
Some are done by Tracy, some by John and some by Chris. They record the 
classes and say that eventually the classes will be posted on the web site. 
I record the ones I attend so I can go through them at my own pace. 

Tim, I pretty sure splines are not in Aspire. I convert splines created in 
TurboCad to arcs before importing into Aspire. I use TurboCad Designer 
which is what Tracy uses. It believe I paid $20 for it and it does 
everything I need to do. There is a new version of Aspire due out soon 
which has a lot of enhancements including improved drawing functions for a 
$400 upgrade fee. I saw it demonstrated at the Vectric user group meeting 
in Cincinnati.

You're right George. I use TurboCan to do the drawing and import into 
Aspire which generates the gcode. I'm sure you could make chair spindles 
easily. I've not turned any chair spindles yet - I'm even a graduate of The 
Windsor Institute. I'm planning to build a chair and have many of the parts 
drawn. I can let you know how it goes when I get time to work on it. The 
chair is th Civil War officer's chair from the August issue of Woodworker's

Re: The miniArty

2013-01-10 Thread Stan
George, I have the Arty 58 and am pleased with it. It gives you enough 
length to mount a flat work area and not have to remove it for most 
turnings. If you are interested, call John at Legacy and I suspect he'll 
make you a deal that may surprise you. Just remember there is a crating and 
shipping charge that you should get in writing. Mine cost $200 for crating 
and $600 shipping which was $200 more than the shipping quote when I 
ordered. We hobby guys don't like surprises. To get some ideas on projects 
it can do, Legacy has free on-line training classes open to anyone, 
customer or not. Just go to legacycncwoodworking.com under CNC101. The 
class today is part 2 of turning a Faberge ornament.

Re: Evolution unveiled

2012-12-20 Thread Stan
Tim, to follow up on your spindle info, I have Legacy's 220V, 3HP spindle 
on my Arty 58 and so far I am very pleased with it. The reduced noise level 
is the first thing you notice. Legacy did a good job of mounting the 
inverter on the side of the machine. There is a bucket ( the familiar 
orange bucket from Home Depot) with the coolant pump mounted to the lid 
that sits on the floor under the machine. The coolant is 50-50 antifreeze 
and water. I have a 220 outlet close by for my big band saw so it works for 
both. I decided to get it since It came with Legacy's warranty and support 
and I got it when they had a $900 sale on spindles last summer. It was a 
good deal but it is still probably overkill for most of us. I've used a 2 
1/4 HP Hitachi router on my Joe's CNC for 3 years and have had no problems.

Re: Shellac Flakes

2011-04-10 Thread Stan Shuford
I use a lot of shellac, mainly for a seal coat under either oil or
water based finishes. Stain goes on more evenly over a 1 pound cut of
seal coat. You can mix it or buy it pre-mixed at the big box stores.
Pre-mixed is easier. It is a 2 pound cut but you can add denatured
alcohol for any cut you want. Woodcraft and others sell the flakes in
clear, blond, amber, etc..
Shellac dries fast and will require several coats to build a finish,
light sanding between cats for a smooth finish. Shellac has about a 6
month shelf life and takes some effort to mix from flakes.

BTW, if anyone is interested in learning about CNC, Tracy is holding a
free, on line live seminar each Tuesday at 6:00 Eastern, followed by a
Q&A session. You can find more on the Legacy web site.

Re: Adjustable Gib Strip

2011-02-17 Thread Stan Shuford
Hey Tim,
I did not see Dale's modifications on Legacy's cnc forum. If you have
it I would like to see it. I'm also not aware of Legacy's updated cnc
slides. I was an early buyer of their standard package. BTW, I did
have a pfat pfinger check. Its a 1000EX. The slop got so bad that I
built a Joe's hybrid with a bolt on indexer.
I think your idea of a mechanical link between 2 screws would work. In
fact, Joe's plans call for a cog belt link between the 2 Y axis motor
rear shafts to keep them in sync in case of missed steps. With my
Gecko 203V drivers, I've not had a problem.
I'm ready to get the Legacy machine working again for a dedicated CNC
indexer. Any suggestions for keeping the carriage from twisting when
changing direction are welcome.

it exactly 1.4 in in diameter for touching off the bit. It is not a live
center. Its made of a hard plastic.

Re: my z axis trouble

2008-12-26 Thread Stan
I had the same problem with the Z axis. You can tell Mach which is up and
down.
Go to Config and selectMotor Home/Soft Limits.
On the left you'll see  X,Y,Z ans A. Some will be green and some red. If you
click on Z it will reverse.
Mine has X and A  green, Y and Z red.

Re: cnc files

2008-12-06 Thread Stan
Glad to hear of your CNC upgrade. I have the code for the candlestick but
since it came from Legacy, I don't think they would want me to distribute it
without their permission. If you ask them for it, I suspect they will give
it to you - or - someone from Legacy could reply and give permission. I have
modified the code quite a bit  and it now does a perfect job for me - after
installing v bearings on the x axis and a few other mods.
The candlestick project is maybe the best way to tune your machine. If
anything is wrong it will show up, especially in the hollowing section. I
just bought some popular and cut a bunch of them, making changes to the
machine or the g-code till I got it right.
The best way to start learning the code is to use the output from a wizard
or the candlestick code and see what it does and figure out which commands
are doing each move. You can find a lot of help with the code, command
descriptions, books, etc on line at sites like cncinformation.com.
Start by running the machine without wood or bits and watch the moves.
I recently went through the same thing so if I can help you feel free to
contact me.

Re: CNC Upgrade and other things

2008-11-07 Thread Stan
I don't know what size the motors are. I can't see any identifying
information on them. They seem to be plenty Strong but are not large.
I believe the controller has room. I'll check it out.
It came with Mach3. The forms are negotiable - they don't automatically come
with it. I found them willing to bend some on several items.
There were a lot of upgrades required for my 1000EX which I also got.
Overall, it was a good experience.
