Re: Chuck Adapter
Hello All I just got home form the hardware store. Today I found out that they had a 2' long 1x8 all thread rod, and nuts to fit. the rod was more expensive than what I bough mine for, but the nuts were $1.68 ea.the thickness of the nut is heaver than I like,but a saw or metal cutting wheel will handle that problem. Just though you would all like to know that Parts are easer to find than ever before. ;-) Have a great day ALL! C.A.G.

Re: Chuck Adapter
Hi All, mounting a chuck to a board or waste table is pretty easy. The 1-8 is a common bolt size. Just drill a hole in the waste board and bolt your chuck in from the bottom. In my case, the adapter was made from 1-8 all thread. McMaster sells it as well as most hardware stores. For years I have considered making a custom swiveling chuck mount to hold work in the legacy. I've considered making it index and angle at whatever angle I need so I can use the 2704 bit to make facets or whatever bit comes to mind. With just mounting the chuck in a fixed position, it seems very limited which is why I shared this one. Mounting the threaded adapter to my rotary table is a given. Since I have a threaded insert in mine right now it's an easy add on. The added height of the chuck might be the limiting factor on stock Legacy's. I recall we have about 3" with the rotary table installed, my Nova chuck is 3" tall with low profile jaws. That's where the added 2" of travel my leg kit provides would really help. Having said that, I don't like metal jaws so close to the router bits. I have discovered that the carbide bits do a fabulous machining job on your expensive four jaw chuck with a very clean finish and hardly any chatter. In fact, you will not even notice it until your cut is done. At least that's how I ruined my jaws :-). I've got some idea on expanding and contracting plastic that I have not had a chance to mock up that I hope to share with the group in a few months. I also have some rotary clamping methods I'd like to bounce around at a later date. Keep the ideas coming. If anyone needs something machined, contact me offlist and I will take care of you. -Tim - Original Message - From: Groovy Wood LLC To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 1:49 PM Subject: RE: Chuck Adapter Planning on trying McMaster Carr.
