Re: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

This topic should have been changed. As another motor choice for the spindle motor that is off the shelf and easily available is a dc motor designed for lathe motor replacement from Penn State Industries. It can be modified to go slower than it is originally setup for. The shaft is a

Delrin Bushings

I would like to know one other member in this group that has replaced his delrin bushings besides Curt. I'm will to bet the majority of user work pieces less than 4" in diameter. Curt was turning large pieces at the time of his wearing the bushings out. I think the Delrin could hold up to

RE: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

The legacy motor is a Dayton model 4Z131B 1/20 HP 90V 109RPM On the spindle legacy didn’t do a motor accept the woodchuck i don’t have any specks for that one But I like a dc motor no weaker than 1/20 HP which can run around 0-200rpm, but I would not recommend too fast a motor If

Re: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

Hello The motors. The lead screw drive is a 90 volt DC gear motor. speed 0-60 rpm but for most cut I run the speed slow (10- 30 rpm?)  I have an 82;1 gear ratio, with a 500lbs lift. My motor is a bit of an over kill, but I got it as a part of a horse trade a few years back... the transph...

Re: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

Hey Guys, Thanks for the responses, I like the motors, both setups, can you tell me what size and rpm seem to work best. the chain drive is neat, was thinking maybe belt just incase it runs into some resistance it would have a little buffering, Still trying to get it back together, lot of parts

Your right mac you can template cut from the top when doing mouldings and such and from the side for round turnings Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MWF Sent: Tuesday, 21 June 2016 12:22 AM To:

Hello all,Didn't Legacy "Template Follow" cutting from the top when they did the "Swan neck" clock pieces?  Seems to me you would template follow - cutting from the side when duplicating a turning and from the top when doing flat work secured on the bed of the mill - like when holding piece in the

Re: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

Good morning Yes when using a template a long straight cutter is needed, The trick when using a template is to take small cuts and not to hog off the wood to quick. when I use my template follower I put on a few different sizes of bearings on the follower its self. each bearing is a bit

RE: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

Most template copy work is done with the long cutter from the side, to template cut vertically some sort of modification has to be done to the mill Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of rchrd.ell...@gmail.com Sent:

Re: new legacy 1200 Owner soon to be user

Curtis That spindle drive is a *very very good* idea it enables a faster speed for a little bit of sanding to finish of an item and of course as you say for copying : I have some skittles to make for a friend about 6" high 2" dia. When one does copy turning do you use a long cutter, cutting
