Have you seen Mike Pungs videos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjcFpO51upw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o These videos should help you out a lot, the indexing video makes it so you do not have to use that indexing pin any more. I use both of these methods a lot. Plus Mike is using a WC in these videos. We have the gear pitch charts for your machine in our archives, (if you need them?) I would highly suggest that you buy an 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" flat bottomed router bit form Magnate https://www.magnate.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=24 https://www.magnate.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=24 Magnate are quality bits, any plunging bit will work in the Legacy/Wood Chuck, but the flat bottomed bits are the work horse of the machine. ( YOU will be Pleased! ) :-) Have a great day. Send pictures when you can.

I bought it ,paid far too much, I do like a challenge,!!!!????? The split nut is hinged, however when the hinge is open the leadscrew must hit and wear out the thread (6 foot leadscrew sag ) if one wants to do planing or fluting cuts on a flat or round piece of wood. I am still cleaning it and checking everything before I make a cut. The indexing pin was bent, now straightened, the knob on the end of the spindle has been replaced with a small hand wheel ,to enable a continuous turn as with the knob one had to take fresh grip to complete a smooth turn whilst planing etc. It came with a Ryobi RE-601 router, also a 110volt drive motor to the leadscrew plus Transfomer 240 to 110 volts (I am in the U.K.) two limit switches for the travel stops (leadscrew). I have a Trend router that I will fit today as I have a few 1/4" cutters and don't as yet have a 1/2/ to1/4 collett for the Ryobi. The indexing pin, that was bent, is only held in the open position by a simple friction plate , a very very poor idea , maybe that is how it got bent or was left in by mistake. I am still getting my head round the gear set up, as the plate gears that go onto the spindle have just 12 indexing holes, how I can make a pepper mill as shown., is beyond me. I did take a pic. of the mill but will try to put it on show later. I will have to make a chart when I have time for the gear set up (have to do the sums ) Regards Richard On Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 2:31:55 PM UTC+1, Curtis wrote: Richard did you end up buying this Wood-Chuck mill? ON the WC mills that Ive seen the split nut was hinged on to the carriage assembly. Can you take some pictures of this mill for us? also was there more than one carriage assembly with your mill? Phantom at that time use to sell one than one carriage assembly for the mill. And One more question, do you have a motor drive? if so one or two motors? Have a great weekend. looking forward to hearing about your adventures. C.A.G.

Before he ascended to the role of "HRH Roger" (meaning he retired - and his wife loves him dearly) Roger sold Legacy machines in the UK (and maybe even sold that earlier version.) He could probably give you the best info.

Im sorry to say this in only half of his message, This is the first part. "Hi I am at the present time using a Trend Router Lathe, and find it a bit constricting . I am also looking to buy a MA 12 Legacy. It is described as a 5 axis built in the 1990's I am a little unsure and a 400 mile trip to have a look at it is a bit daunting Regards Richard." (For everyone info. the MA 12 was an early woodchuck machine, and if I remember correctly it was made to be a kit machine, Here is the basic part and its up to you to make the rest. using there basic blueprints.) Richard the MA12 is also somewhat limited , it was an early model that grew into what we now call the Legacy Ornamental mill. but having said that, If you are happy with the price. the gears and drive screw and hub adapter... and some other parts form the MA12 could be used to make a very nice machine. all depending on your skills as an builder and your needs to make a better router mill. I wish you luck and Please let us know how this turns out for you. C.A.G.

Has anyone any advice to tell me what problems ,if any ,to look for. I am in the U.K. and I do not think there many about in this country It is priced at £500 and 200 miles away. Looking forward to seeing it, and if I buy it, chatting about it on this group that I have just joined, Regards Richard No virus found in this message.
