Thanks to all that were interested in the Z axis. It was sold to the first
responder. Now I'm sorry I had to dissappoint some folks. It goes to show
that there is a lot of interest.
Thanks

Brandon,
I'm thinking you are getting too fancy if you are adjusting this thing up
and down manually. A flat board captured on the sides would create the same
motion. You've got a U shape going on right now with your 2 sides and
center piece so a captured board makes sense. Also I think you
Hello All,
As long as people are looking at possibilities of a z-axis, I always thought
that there was some potential in the Angle Ease devices. I'm not sure what
the patent covers but for home use, there is no issue.
Hello Tim
I have always though that the Angle-Ease-router base is an awesome jig, but
I feel that the biggest problem with the plunge routing set up on the Legacy,
is the lack of plunge depth (3) , the A-E-R would be great for getting the
most out from your router bits, but it too lacks
The patent is worth the read. http://www.google.com/patents/US6742558 Also,
it's expired for what it's worth.

Hi Curt, to clarify, I said look at it for inspiration, not that the angle ease
in it's current form works for us. For example the lamination technique used
to hold the router is interesting. The way the threaded dowel pins are used is
great for mdf construction. The way the router holding
Tim, I do plan to use a lead screw to raise and lower the router. I just
haven't incorporated it into the sketchup yet. I have the locking bolt
centered because I want it's force directed between the two angled cuts. The
idea is to draw the two angled surfaces together and generate enough
Hi Brandon,
You have a cool job! Your statement about over engineering was pretty funny.
There's always a huge gap of knowledge between engineers and machinists.
I've had the life experience to have both in my toolbox. Now when I design
something I step back and look at it from the machining
I haven't considered the pitch of the lead screw. Ideally, it would be one of
Legacy's 1/4 per revolution. However, it will likely be whatever I can find at
a local hardware store.
I keep going back and forth on the orientation of the plates. When I did the
sketchup, I invisioned the router
5/8 acme is not available from most suppliers. I have only found one so
far. However, you can find 2 start version from mcmaster that are either
close or right on to 4tpi. The problem then becomes finding a match nut.
If you have a nut it can be used or modified to make the lift work. Finding
In my opinion because I use a plunge router a z axis is only for much greater
reach the plunge distance on my router is enough for most operations.
That is on the vertical plane but if your router can be tilted to 90 degrees
then a z axis is very important for all vertical operations

Bill,
What do you think is the proper tpi using a 7-10lb router?
I have a PC 7310 on my model 200 that I added a 4tpi screw to control the z
axis. Even at this little weight, I can feel the router wanting to drop
easily. I have a lock on my axis and I use it with all cuts that are the
