RE: Modifying Legacy Mill with lathe motor

I don't think delrin the bushes or the mill itself would handle the fast speeds of a lathe at all, once you put timber in it the increased weight would be too much, legacy's are just not designed to handle such speeds I would defiantly convert to ball bearings even then it would be too fast at

2013-06-03 Thread Bill Bulkeley
After more thinking I believe it would only be possible if you geared the speeds down much slower in the transfer between the lathe and the Mill so when your lathe is on its fastest speed the mill would only be going at like 100 rpm this would then let you utilize the varying speeds of the lathes

Hay Brandon one thought, if your lathe is to short. why dont you make it longer? Ive done this a number of times over the years. I have a hole drilled in the wall of my garage that my live center fits into. I anker my lathe down and then use the hole and the wall to make my lathe longer. I also

Wow - that was someone thinking outside the box that invented this. Yes, Jeff, I agree. Watching the video, it appears they hold drive device in both positions.My two concerns are:1. "How tight did I get it?" I often find myself following up an assembly with a hand tool, wrench or screwdriver,

Jeff, It's interesting, but I'm not interested. Aligning holes on two work pieces is difficult enough even using a cnc, but making sure you're within the tolerances necessary to magnetically screw together the pieces must be difficult. And unless you own the tool, then the ability to take the

Well my thought was something that does not get a great deal of movement. Something like a desk, book case, entertainment center, Lamp. I don't think it would work for a chair, children toys, beds. I do know it is available in only metric sizes, I would want to use dowel centers to line

The legacy is not stiff enough to do high speed lathe turning. Good lathes are made of heavy cast iron (or in the case of Oneway a very large tube) because of the stiffness requirements of spinning a chunk of wood. They have large bearings to handle the lateral and end loads. Used industrial

I turn stock that is 12 diameter 7 feet long at a speed of 90-120 rpm with no trouble. Then I use a trim router with a v-bit router bit. I build a tool rest table to slide the router on it's side. Now I can use the speed of the wood to keep concentric cuts without the balance issue. Then
