i calculated things as follows...the machine currently is capable of
11 5/8, inside of the bed rails...i am shooting for 18 so i thought 6
1/2 should get me there...but when you are doing an 18 piece, your rough
glue up will be bigger, of course...so i did want a bit more...so i went
tim,
haven't lengthened the slot that the bed support bracket slides
in...not yet, anyway...wasn't sure if it was going to be necessary...some
preliminary calculations said maybe not, but now that the prototype is
done, i see that the slot needs to be lengthened about 3...but that is why
hey mac,
you are correct...generally, the largest pole we do is 3 in
diameter...but we also make furniture...and i can see( and have made in the
past) a turned and fluted column for a center pedestal table...and we have
done the type where the column splits in half when the table
If you never intend to spiral and only flute the larger dia work ,I would have
simply built another whole mill to accommodate the large dia it would only have
to turn the work and index it, all easy things to obtain. I seem to remember
someone on the group doing that a few years back with
tim,
can you be a bit more specific when you saychanging the formula?...i
do understand that if i complete the mod and i am turning a 16 diameter
piece, how the rate of feed from the lead screw will be much different than
if i was turning a 4 diameter piece...but are there other surprises
bill,
i don't anticipate doing spirals on a big piece but that does not mean
i won't ever have a need to do them...i would like to keep my options
open...and build another 16 ft. mill?...i don't think so...this is a one
and done machine for me...and i will admit, to do an 18 column 15 ft.
bill,
not sure about the gear train reaching...i am increasing the machine
by 8, but that gets cut in half to 4 since the gear train works from the
center line out to the lead screw...but i have worked out what i need to do
if it needs to be lengthened...and i have all the necessary gears
Changing the formula in the sense that making the machine wider helps the
diameter, but the spindle will have to drop 8 inches or a little more to get a
16 piece. The other way to think is also to raise the y axis some. A model
would show all the issues. Regarding the drive train, I'm
That is very interesting thank you I have decided to try it to hold my bench
tops down and if i have any over i will try it as a clamping system on flat
work on the legacy

I know this is old, but the best source I have found is Amazon. I use it to
bond Stainless to glass in all-glass storefront systems.
They are 45 degree and 90 degree angles that do not use a center screw like
other pieces.
It really holds well.
