Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase
Hello Joe, I have a model MA 12 and wanted to know if you would be interested in selling the center support; if you could take a picture of it and mail it to me at dewellcrews...@gmail.com I would appreciate it. If you could send a picture of the machine and everything that goes with as you might have an option that I don't have. Feel free to call me @ (941) 727-5674, I live in Brookings, OR.

Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase
thanks for the compliments guys!...luckily enough i was able to surround myself with some very talented people...add to that my family history(father and grandfather were furniture finishers/restorers so i grew up around that stuff), a workaholic drive, some OCB(LOL!) and 41 years of dedicated work and you now see the results...plus being in new york city gave me a clientele base that would want that type of work was a big plus...and thanks for the mounting technique for the limit switches...if i set them up on the woodchuck, i was thinking of using magnets, since the rails are steel...will be posting photos soon of all machinery pertaining to twisting...again many thanks, joe On Tuesday, August 13, 2013 11:15:01 AM UTC-4, finu...@aol.com wrote: joe biunno here...new comer to this group and for those who don't know me, i was the buyer of the 1800a with the cnc package that was in florida and listed on ebay...in a previous reply i had posted my intentions of attempting to extend the length between centers of the 1800 to something in the neighborhood of 12-14 ft(to be used to make drapery poles...an item we manufacture)...the idea being to buy another machine(ideally, another 1800) and combine the two as necessary...been scouring around and talking to fellow woodworkers and through a friend, came in contact with a woodworker who had a woodchuck model MA-12...as it turned out, the machine was given to this person by the person who connected us in the first place...he had not used the machine since he got it and actually was using a different model legacy( a bit simpler, as he described it)...under all the circumstances, he sold the woodchuck to me for 100.00...an incredible price for sure, but not the machine i could use for my upcoming mod attempt...i purchased it for two reasons- to use for smaller furniture parts (legs, finials, etc.) and for parts, should i need any...knowing that legacy has issues with supplying parts...the machine is very complete...seems to be 80 between centers...manufactured in august of 1995...has the standard gears, of course, but also seems to have the 2x,.5x and .25x add on gear sets...as well as additional indexing plates that are colored red, for some reason...a center work support...12 and 8 position drive centers...a drive motor on the lead screw...a #2 morse taper in the head stock(but no ball bearings-bummer!) and #2 in the tailstock as well...an assortment of mounting flanges...assembly manual/media kit...what it does not have is is the spindle drive motor, the template follower and limit switches...i would be interested in any of these, if anyone out there has them for sale/trade...of course, would consider a sale or exchange( with $ from me) involving this machine, if anyone is interested...thanks to all! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

thanks guys!...great info and sources...will definitely set up the limit switches, as i have found out the hard way(LOL!) that they are definitely needed...the control box has only one speed control knob...that box also has the reversing switch and the override switch...there is a second box that simply has a on/off power switch...don't think i want to go through the expense of setting up a motor on the spindle...seems we always do our pieces on a traditional lathe(an older oliver pattern maker's lathe with an 8 ft. vega duplicator on the back side)...this gives us consistent pieces to put into a spiral or fluting apparatus...and there are wires coming out of the control box that i am fairly sure would be for the limit switches...and dust control is important in our shop and certainly strive to keep it out of all our motors and controls...so that will be looked into when picking out a limit switch...again, thanks to all and the fun shall continue!

Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase
Hello Joe I understand your concerns over the WC and the motors, (time is money.) but If you get a chance to try it, I highly recommend using a spindle motor as well as the drive motor at the same time.(no gears attached.) If you are looking at a quality finish on a spindle before roping, both motors working together do give you a high quality finish. I can not compare the speed of the Oliver vs. the WC (or Legacy) since I have not seen your Oliver cut. but it just might be something to look into for the future for either your 1800 or WoodChuck OM. Have a good night. And Please do send us some pictures of your works as well as your machines.( perhaps a short video of your Oliver cutting...?) - Original Message - From: finun...@aol.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 4:30 PM Subject: Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase thanks guys!...great info and sources...will definitely set up the limit switches, as i have found out the hard way(LOL!) that they are definitely needed...the control box has only one speed control knob...that box also has the reversing switch and the override switch...there is a second box that simply has a on/off power switch...don't think i want to go through the expense of setting up a motor on the spindle...seems we always do our pieces on a traditional lathe(an older oliver pattern maker's lathe with an 8 ft. vega duplicator on the back side)...this gives us consistent pieces to put into a spiral or fluting apparatus...and there are wires coming out of the control box that i am fairly sure would be for the limit switches...and dust control is important in our shop and certainly strive to keep it out of all our motors and controls...so that will be looked into when picking out a limit switch...again, thanks to all and the fun shall continue!

Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase
Thank you Joe. I second Roger's statement. Impressive. Have a good night. C.A.G. - Original Message - From: finun...@aol.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 5:46 PM Subject: Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase high curtis, the oliver is a traditional lathe...with a four speed head stock(no belts or pulleys)...speeds are 600, 1200, 1800 and 3600...this is accomplished by the headstock having four individual motor windings...almost like four motors in one...so all our turning work is done the traditional way...granted, i am fortunate enough to be able to do a bit of turning work myself, as well as have some talented people working with me...the oliver is a large machine, 96 between centers...a huge cast iron bed that is 12+ ft. in length...it does have a carriage, much like a metal lathe does, but the carriage has it's own motor for powered travel along the length of the bed...and the carriage can move in and out, as well as left and right, independent of the entire carriage moving(again, just like a metal lathe does)...but the carriage is not geared to the headstock in any way...so twisting work is not possible on this machine...but we have set up a router to mount on the carriage to do limited ornamental type cuts into our work pieces...we set up a fairly complex indexing feature on the outboard side of the lathe and this allows us to do straight fluting and reeding on legs, finials and other pieces, using the router mounted in the carriage...the tailstock can be set to be off center which will allow tapered work...but even with some of these features and accessories, it still cannot come close to doing what a legacy can do...and i will post some photos of my equipment...stay tuned...joe...and a small sampling of our work can be seen at our web page...www.antiquefurnitureusa.com On Tuesday, August 13, 2013 11:15:01 AM UTC-4, finu...@aol.com wrote: joe biunno here...new comer to this group and for those who don't know me, i was the buyer of the 1800a with the cnc package that was in florida and listed on ebay...in a previous reply i had posted my intentions of attempting to extend the length between centers of the 1800 to something in the neighborhood of 12-14 ft(to be used to make drapery poles...an item we manufacture)...the idea being to buy another machine(ideally, another 1800) and combine the two as necessary...been scouring around and talking to fellow woodworkers and through a friend, came in contact with a woodworker who had a woodchuck model MA-12...as it turned out, the machine was given to this person by the person who connected us in the first place...he had not used the machine since he got it and actually was using a different model legacy( a bit simpler, as he described it)...under all the circumstances, he sold the woodchuck to me for 100.00...an incredible price for sure, but not the machine i could use for my upcoming mod attempt...i purchased it for two reasons- to use for smaller furniture parts (legs, finials, etc.) and for parts, should i need any...knowing that legacy has issues with supplying parts...the machine is very complete...seems to be 80 between centers...manufactured in august of 1995...has the standard gears, of course, but also seems to have the 2x,.5x and .25x add on gear sets...as well as additional indexing plates that are colored red, for some reason...a center work support...12 and 8 position drive centers...a drive motor on the lead screw...a #2 morse taper in the head stock(but no ball bearings-bummer!) and #2 in the tailstock as well...an assortment of mounting flanges...assembly manual/media kit...what it does not have is is the spindle drive motor, the template follower and limit switches...i would be interested in any of these, if anyone out there has them for sale/trade...of course, would consider a sale or exchange( with $ from me) involving this machine, if anyone is interested...thanks to all! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: woodchuck model MA-12 purchase
Here is a way I figured out how to mount the limit switch. The switch is mounted on a flat stock (in this case a piece of plexiglass I had) and just a screw into a nut in the top rail. The edge of the plexiglass is where the switch opens to stop the motor. Since this switch has an arm that is adjustable in length, you can adjust it were the switch will open just when the carriage meets the plate holding the switch. Here is a picture that will explain more than my words have...
