RE: tail stock on the LOM

Ok I made it on my metal lathe for my model 900 mill. Using 2 bearings so it would be more stable when slipped over the existing mills dead centre And yes the ID does mach the shaft of the mills dead centre. Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-m

RE: tail stock on the LOM

3 questions (approximately), who made the live center? Was it machined special? Why showing 2 bearings? Does it need both ? Does the bearing ID match the diameter of the original shaft tip? russ From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegrou

Re: tail stock on the LOM

Yes I use a live center most of the time. I remember someone (I think it was Tim) who made a live center for the Legacy's new tail stock. (More then a few years ago.) If I remember correctly they threaded the shaft and then added a live center on to the shaft. (I may have been a Shop-Smith I kno

RE: Need LOM dogs and split nut

OK, to me, simple is drilling for a 1” dowel and cut it off after. No money spend. Should have enough scrap to do this without leaving the shop. With the face plate, you would only need one. Flat piece of plywood with 4 cleats to hold the leg like a “wrench on a bolt”. They slip in and out

RE: tail stock on the LOM

If your tailstock has a MT-2 then you can use a standard live center? I wish I had that. I have just a solid rod grind to a point, lots of friction under use. That’s the part I don’t like. From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On

Re: Need LOM dogs and split nut

Hello guys. the face-plate idea is OK. but for the money the indexing hubs are the best tool in the arsenal of tools that Legacy ever made. Hopefully Cindy can come through for you? If not there are others out there that can make them... the Hubs are Simple, Efficient,& Practical... (ESP. or in

Ok, Joe Biuno, time for you to chime in!  Show Russ the "museum quality" work/modifications that you do.  I'm sure that on at least one of your LOMs you have improved the tensioner.Russ - get ready to be impressed!Mac-Original Message- From: russ veinot Sent: Nov 5, 2017 11:33 AM To: Legac

i still use my original tailstock with the cam tensioner. i am curious if anyone has this same set up? was it used on other models (which models)? if you changed your, how? i would like to change mine, but maybe not have to reinvent the wheel :>) looking for ideas !! -- You received this

Re: Need LOM dogs and split nut

Hello Joe most of the Legacy's that I have seen have a MT-2 as well as a 1x8 thread on the head-stock/spindle. This means most of the lathe adapters you own should fit the Legacy, the MT-1 is to small for the Legacy, but you can buy MT 1-2 adapters at any machine shop supply house, they are not

RE: Need LOM dogs and split nut

You are on the money Bill. The LOM uses the 1”-8TPI headstock with the #2 morse taper almost always, **apparently even yours Jon **. The #1 and #2 tapers are not interchangeable. There might be a #2 to #1 adaptor but don’t bother. The #2 is most common among most wood lathes and LOM’s.
