Re: PEN TURNING
Nice job Tim. When I gift pens I have turned I try to match the wood with the reason for the gift and/or the person I give it to. When I was getting married some 22 years ago the pen I turned with oak and gave to my to be Father-in-Law. The reason was he loved it and it showed strength. Once for our church fund raiser I turned about 100 pens with bloodwood that obviously indicated the blood of Christ. I finally am getting my shop built with some organizing remaining. The Legacy 900 CNC and my Revo will be put to work then. Long time reader but post very little. I hope the group doesn't mind.

Re: legacy manual
That's the problem. I bought it from Legacy as a 900 Standard CNC that
someone had traded in. I would have to do a complete swap out or get the
gears, etc. to make it work. I got really frustrated with Mach3 and all of
the steps needed to make it line up correctly, etc. I have driven several
bits thru a bird thinking it would be OK before hitting Cycle Start.. I
also have a Carvewright and it carves extremely well for a lot of things.
Still have the Revo and it would be nice to have both manuals (900 non-cnc
and Revo).
Maybe when I retire again I will have time to sort the 900 CNC/Mach3 stuff
out.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: For Sale: 900/Standard CNC
Tim, Combination of Economy, lack of use and the Revo can turn out what little I would need the 4th axis for. The fuses are there to protect the electronics from the steppers. They can be easily bypassed if needed. I didn't want a motor shorting and taking the electronics out, Knowing what little I know about electronics I don't understand why that would be a bad thing. Steve On Sunday, July 15, 2012 2:09:12 PM UTC-5, Tim wrote: Did you step up to a newer cnc machine or decide the revo fits your needs better? You need to remove those fuses from the motors.

900 Vs. REVO
OK folks, I would like to know what the REVO can do that the 900 can't and what the 900 can do that the REVO can't. I am trying to decide if I really need my 900 CNC and am considering selling it for a Manual mill. (900/1200). I already have a CarveWright that can do vectors and 2.5d reliefs up to 14.5 wide so I have that covered. I would lose relief carving on a spindle but I haven't used that yet. Thoughts?

Re: 900 Vs. REVO
Thanks Roger, I will not be selling the CW. It does too much and for the money it cannot be beat. Reliability is based on user maintenance.

Fired up...
Well, I just watched the training videos for the manual Legacy mills. I like the Hands On approach better than the automated CNC process for a lot of things. It really makes me want to get out there and make chips fly! The problem is, the training videos are for the 900 and up. My manual mill is for the REVO. So, most of the add-ons shown are not the same for my mill. Does anyone know where I may watch the REVO training videos, if there are even videos just for it? I bought my machine used and the origional owner only had the assembly videos. Maybe if I upload some pictures of the brackets and other items that came with it you can identify what it is and how it's used?

Yes but the only REVO specific was the Pens, Dovetails and Framing attachments. Everything else has been 900 or larger models. Maybe I need to look up the 900 in Houston.

Re: old legacy videos
Anyone have the videos that came with the Revo? I bought mine used (no longer made) and they were not included. I need to make some tapered legs for a vanity stool. Any ideas here.. I do have a 900 Legacy Standard CNC but it was used as well and no videos with it either. I am learning the hard way with as I cannot see in my brain what the GCode is doing (yet). The Revo is easier for me to see what it will be doing before I make toothpicks..

Re: Build log of sorts for a 1200 upgrade to CNC
Chainlink, Are you going to install limit switches or use software limits in Mach? I have a 900/Standard and added fuses to each motor. I also want to add limit switches. Still a ways from there as I need time to dig in and time is pretty short. Let me know if you want to see what a stock 900 standard CNC looks like for your upgrade reference. Thanks, Steve On Aug 19, 9:06 pm, Tim Krause artmarb...@comcast.net wrote: What's the rpm on the spindle? This is where you might benefit from using gears or a timing belt to increase the torque, but you will loose your speed. Stepper start loosing torque around the 500 rpm range generally. At least we know now that the 387oz range motor is too small. You might want to check your bushings on your z axis and make sure that they are not oversized and causing the z axis to bind up more than it should. I've seen a couple of the Z-axis where if you removed the lead screw, the router would not move up or down. There is a fine line between slop, freely moving and binding. Hopefully Art can guide you on the threading. I'd would like to see a sample g-code for the spirals that are not using g01 to make the move. I have assumed all along that a threading cycle could be used.

Here is a link to a video of the carve in action! Sorry about the loud volume; I wasn't in the mood to edit the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlQ46e3gwiA Details: I needed some 1 1/2 dowels for my newest table project, so I decided to try my best to use my CNC upgrade. I had problems in two areas: First, my Z-axis stalled when raising. Second, I had to make shallow passes to keep from stalling the A-axis. One thing I did notice was that as the motors warmed up, my z-axis was much better behaved and seemed to work well. I spent just about 8 minutes per dowel once I got the procedure down. I even bumped up the A-axis motor speed and ran it so that I could run some sandpaper over the finished dowel--it's pretty nice to be able to do that. I must say that I absolutely loved the ease of repeatability that the CNC commands provided. My Z axis held it's depth without having to constantly fiddle with locking down the Z axis on every depth change like I used to do. Small changes to depth are really easy to make. I ended up just where I wanted to be with my dowels, a bit undersized at 1.48 to 1.49. Although I spent most of my evening in the shop, I feel like my time was at least equally spent vs. manual milling without the added frustration and effort. It was nice to prepare the next blank while I was waiting. Next up, the big timesaver would be to cut my threads via CNC. I don't know where to start with that one, if anyone has any tips. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: revo
Bill, My 900 came as a CNC already so there were no gears for me to be able to keep. I wish I had them! I have Tim's bed height adjustment that I use on it (CNC) and am very happy with it's ease of use. I do wonder if the rotary table will work on the Revo but then I look at the 900CNC and realise that I can do that on it without a table. I do want to use the Revo for more than pens. I plan on some small diameter spindles that are reinforced with a brass rod in the middle like a pen. I can use a long mandrel to hold it in place making it much more rigid allowing for more accuracy on a much longer spindle that has a small diameter like that of a pen. Just another idea..

It's happened so, so often on this Forum it's becoming a joke. On this occassion I feel the tone of the opening post went too far by actually insulting an individual in a very aggressive way. William although you may have had a problem with the service you received from the company, to post such derogatry comments about one of it's employees is totally unacceptable should have no place on this forum. I agree with Curt in respect of getting the name of the person you speak to should always be a basic requirement. If you would have done that you would have had someone to whom you could have addressed your later problems too without being sent around the houses.Having stated that numerous messages were left call back promises broken why did you not just phone the company ask to talk to the man at the top, Mr Andy Anderson and without exploding straight away, just in case he had no prior knowledge of your complaint, go on explain how his company had let you down, I'm sure he would have addressed the matter may have been able to think about preventing a re-occurence in the future. That's what has constantly amazed me about all the negative comments posted over time on this forum concerning Legacy customer service, no one has ever done it constructively.The first thing to do seems to be come on here have a rant, where's the benefit in that? No one comes forward with suggestions on how they'd improve it. Sometimes I think it becomes forgotten the size of a company Legacy actually is, how many people do they actually have to do everything that is expected of them? I don't think it's as many as people seem to assume. Each person would appear to specialize in an aspect of the company may not be aware of anothers duties if called upon to deputise. The employee that was referred to so kindly in the opening post would go out of their way to offer support to customers, how do I know? because recently he spent 45mins on the phone to me explaining a rather complicated CNC software issue I was having, did he earn anything out of it? well yes he earnt my thanks and I know by his parting comments that I'm more than welcome to contact him if I incur further problems. This group has in the past tried to encourage Legacy to take part in discussions, to give their view on things, now the person within the company who I know for a fact monitors what's being discussed, has made postings, been named as helping numerous customers with problems probably will no longer be so keen to offer anything following Williams kind words about their abilities. William my last point is addressed to your reply to 'Euro Legacy', do you know who you were addressing, I'm pretty sure not! because if so you would have checked their previous postings and found out that they are the UK reseller for Legacy. Now holding such a position you would expect them to be in regular contact with employees of the company hence becoming aware of the names of those having had complaints made against them. My point... perhaps in the future it may be better to do a little research give more thought to postings. I have been a customer of Legacy for more years than I can remember I will continue to be one for many more to come.

Re: Useing acrylics on the Legacy?
I agree with Tim concerning using epoxy rather than CA. Better bond that is more flexible than CA. It would also handle the heat in a different and better way than CA. After turning many Acrylic pens on a lathe I have learned that being careful with cut depth and pressure on the material is very important! With that in mind I think I will use very sharp bits, very shallow cuts and medium feed speeds. To reduce the heat and chipout of the material I would rather reduce the cut depth and speed up the feed rate. With acrylics it is important to remember that the material is the boss. Take what it will give you and you have a better chance of success. I have been turning at 3000 rpm on my lathe and had the material cut like butter with a hot knife then all the sudden have a different feel because of a density change requiring a different pressure on the chisel. Picky stuff! I will let you know how it turns out.. Steve On Dec 5, 7:26 pm, Tim Krause artmarb...@comcast.net wrote: Well, I both know and respect Barry, but for gluing two different materials together I would still use epoxy. I've had more failures using medium CA than I have had with epoxy. Your mileage may vary. I did watch the video and noticed he is specifying a Pen Makers CA glue which is flexible. Personally I've never seen this before. Also I think his sanding to over 1000 grit is excessive. Again personal opinion.

Hey folks, Am I the only one having problems reading the group with Mozilla Firefox? It keeps trying to load the page and says 'Redirecting'. All is good with Internet Explorer.. Any ideas?

Still no good. Mine shows it as a secured site with a security certificate. The lock is displayed at the bottom. It is locked up in 'redirecting'. I do not see a no-script indicator.

Re: pens on the mill
Yup.. Then you insert the mandrel rod into the chuck and tighten it down. I did the same thing with the Shop Smith so no big deal except the wait. It is WAY too hot outside now anyway. I have to finish my pool deck in the next few mornings and evenings then I am off to the mills and lathe. I was smart enough to put a window AC unit in the shop so I can work all year long..

Legacy for turnings, CarveWright for relief carvings, Joinery Jig for nice joints and the Revo for fun! Now all I need is more time home.. Ahhh that would be nice!

Re: Revo
Hopefully he will. There aren't any pictures of the discontinued models anymore. Was the Craftmaster and Revo basically the same? Would there be any alternatives to them made by others?

However, just checking their web site, I see the Revo is now removed from their site. Maybe they decided to accept that the Revo is dead. Roger in Europe is a dealer of Legacy products. I believe he has some stock available on the Revos. I bet Roger will chime in here.

Re: Compatible Routers
Thanks for thje feedback. I just found a barely used PC 7518 and considering its durability and parts availability I decided to get it. I also bought an Eliminator Chuck for it.

Re: Noobe questions..
Rich,
Is the rotary axis mod you speak of your own design or are there
actual printed plans for it? Does your Joe use Mach3 for control or
something else? I presume it uses stepper motors and controllers as
well? Also, does humidity have any type of adverse effect on the MFD
framing? (I presume that it is painted and sealed well).
Thanks,
Steve

My sugestion is to build the Joe CNC 4by4 Hybrid and add a rotary axis. This
will give you a fully functionaly CNC router and ability tt do rotary stock
up tp 6 by 36. Total cost will be around $3500 which is les than the CNC

It is working well, for now and I wanted to mix the capabilities

Software requirements. Is there any software that is not
provided with the CNC upgrade that would be considered essential?
If so, how much more of an investment would that be?
