Re: Rotary table modifications.

Hey Michael!... excellent work!... question, did you hog out the center material or did you glue pieces going around the perimeter to get the "drop" of the top? On Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 12:28:43 PM UTC-5, Michael Kratky wrote: > > Joe, > > This is what I make: > > > > 28-30”

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

hey Tim!... hex shaft was the direction I was considering... getting the shaft is easy( 22 mm, McMaster... just .009ths smaller than 7/8") but getting the brass, flanged "carriers" is a big problem... seems the only place to get them is a Japanese company... their only US rep is some huge

RE: Rotary table modifications.

Joe, This is what I make: 28-30” diameter top, but no reason why it can’t be downsized as the original size is based on measurements I got from Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Michael

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

A hex shaft could work as well.  Even two shaft clamps on a round shaft would work.  I know from error that a single shaft on the leadscrew is very prone to slipping! Another thing you have possibly not considered is phasing the cuts.  By rotating the cam on the shaft you can get different

Unless my memory is really failing, I've shown examples in the past messages.  Anyone can make them.  I'll see if I can find the photos or I would search for "low profile" in the Google groups messages. On Dec 12, 2018, 6:18 AM, at 6:18 AM, Harvey Matyas wrote: >Tim > >Where are the low

Hey Michael!... what diameters of a pie crust table are you referring to?... I would think to do a table of an adequate, desirable diameter(28" ?), the router would have to "hover" over the table top... indexing and patterns would then come into play... it seems a rotary table could be set up

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

Hello and Good morning .There was a video put out a few years ago on Oval turning, (I know its not the same.but a lot of the details that he did were WOW! in the OT since.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4c_yFmaHso=7s   Forster Giesmann results are things of beauty that I one day would like

RE: Rotary table modifications.

The pie crust table idea intrigues me on a LOM, I’ve made several with a hand held router and jigs while my 1200 with a rotary table sits in storage; are there any videos showing this being accomplished on a Legacy? Thanks in advance, Michael K From:

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

Hey Tim!... thanks for the reply!... a response and some ideas to consider... the design I seem to be considering will always be in place, ready to be used, with minimal time to setup... the hex spindle being considered would always be in its position of above and forward of the Legacy lead

Re: Rotary table modifications.

Tim Where are the low profile clamps located? I checked the site at https://ornamentalmills.com/turningaround/index.html Thank you. Harvey On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 12:55 AM Tim Krause wrote: > I thought of putting some pem inserts into the rotary table so you could > do what you are

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

I've done pumping on the legacy before, but was not satisfied with the amount of time it took to setup and make changes.  It was all done on the rotary table, but could also work wrapping around a cylinder.  The method used where cams cut on a cnc and added to the leadscrew.  I used a spring

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

thanks to all for their comments, compliments, encouragement, etc. ... Hey Tim!... not sure if I am interpreting your comment correctly... what I am saying in my previous post, is that I do not intend to convert the Legacy into a rose engine machine... they certainly are two very different
