Re: time to put up or shut up!
Good morning Joe. I'm sorry to say that Legacy did own the rights and have there rail custom made for there machines, And I am again sorry to say,that they can not get it anymore, that is the main reason why Legacy made that big move to the liner rails and the smaller machines. But having said that, there are a few ideas that you could try to combine your two machines together. Its pretty easy to make spanners and hook the two sets of rails together,but since you are looking at 17 feet of rail. I would recommend that you either add a set of 80/20 rail under the Legacy's or replace the Legacy's center rails all together, I believe with that kind of span the Alum, will bow under a load, I feel its needs to be re-enforced in some way. but that is my opinion only, and have no proof that this will happen.(its just a feeling.) Have you thought about hooking up the two machines together, end to end. And keeping them each as there own unit? two carriages, two separate sets of rails and two separate screws, all combined together so that you can make the long parts. Yes there would be a dead zone where the machines could not reach, but that could easily be fixed by flipping the spindle over so that the longer machine could then hit the dead zone with a clean up pass this would be easer to do and might make production faster. and if you combine the two lead screws together with a Love/Joy coupler you could easily use the two machines separately if wanted..Again this is just an idea? I would also recommend that you buy/make a spindle motor for your new machines, this will give you a much better finish on your spindles (the quality of the cut.) And the gears can be used for the roping and other Ornamental elements. BUT if you ask me the spindle drive motor is a must for production work. I wish you luck, Please keep up informed and up to date on your ventures, They sound pretty exciting. ;-) C.A.G. - Original Message - From: finun...@aol.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 5:57 AM Subject: Re: time to put up or shut up! @dewell...thanks for the link...i had seen their products in the past...what i would really like to find is the exact extrusion that legacy used/uses...does anyone know if the legacy rails are proprietary?...did legacy design and manufacture their rails for their equipment?...if they did use an extrusion that was already being produced, does anyone know where to get it? @tim...thanks for the source on the lead screw!...will definitely look into going that route, if possible...and i will try to find greg and perhaps see if he can send a photo of those supports...would like to think legacy would be helpful here and i am going to give that a try...they have been helpful so far, specifically john again, thanks to all for their ideas and suggestions, joe biunno On Saturday, August 24, 2013 4:30:09 PM UTC-4, finu...@aol.com wrote: joe biunno here...just got back from the Pittsburgh(actually Gibsonia) area after purchasing a very nice 1200...like new condition...gear motor drive... all controls and limit switches...z axis upgrade...numerous accessories...this was listed on ebay not too long ago but got no bids...sent an e-mail, a little back and forth dickering and before i knew it, i was on my way(6 1/2 hour drive each way)...so now i have the two machines to combine into one...overall length will be 17 ftwith 16 ft between centers...first phase is to design a functional and straight( i.e.-NO sag) base...with wheels, which is a must in our shop...once that is done i will set up the two machines( the other being an 1800) and see to what extent and complexity i need the attach the two together...if the base does it's job well(to near perfection is my standard), then joining the two will be easy...but of course joining the lead screw will be difficult, but doable, in my opinion...or i can possibly find one in the length needed for this application...i am more concerned about setting up a support system for the screw...i did see the photo of that very large legacy that tim posted, but enlarging it did not give me the details needed to reproduce it...i might wonder if andy, tracy or john could help with a better photo of the apparatus...might be asking a lot as it is their design...i would buy the assembly from them if they offered it to me, but not sure how receptive they would be to that idea...on another note,i'll throw a hook out there and offer a possibility that i might sell a number of items that have been duplicated from these two purchases...i have gear sets galore...indexing plate sets...horizontal vises...and other pieces...i need to list on paper everything i have to organize it better...and three, z axis upgrades...one i'll need of course...the others consist of a complete unit and one tower does not have the rails...i'll decide what i want to keep, once i

RE: time to put up or shut up!
I think you could successfully join 2 legacys together join the rails and join the leadscrews into one long one no flipping and just support the rail with legs like legacy themselves do there is a leadscrew support too to stop it sagging as well. There is a write up some were on the group for joining rails and to join a leadscrew drill a hole in the end of one and turn a spigot on the end of another and locktite them together with the strongest locktite avalible this works because i joined 2 leadscrews together and lengthened my mill with longer rails.
