I don't usually have problems turning 2 and 3 inch square stock to round except when I hit a knot. That's when I lose steps; it's catastrophic if I lose steps when threading. I bought a 4 axis kit some years ago for a homemade CNC machine. I repurposed that kit on the Legacy. I bought a kit fro

Wes, I did a conversion to CNC on a legacy 1200 with steppers. I have nema23 387oz. steppers and a 6:1 gear reduction on the Z and rotary axis, and a straight coupling on the X and Y. The setup is adequate on X,Y and Z, but the rotary axis needs a lot more torque. I haven't looked into what the

It really is kind of a trade off on cost vs. quality. I fully realize that this is a sloppy setup for typical CNC tolerances, but it's still better than I can turn by hand or by using traditional jigs. that's the sweet spot for me; it's a time saver that's also easier to setup. As for the bushi

What I find the most time consuming with the threaded rod is running it through the Beall wood threader router jig by hand turning.

Re: Bought used 1200, need advice please

Yes, once I noticed the washers it was evident that the split nut wasn't lined up with the lead screw well at all. The Y-axis lead screw bracket was obviously bent, most likely from shipping damage. All I did was straighten it out; it just needed a little straightening. It sounds worse than it was.

Ok, I'll swap the rails then. I have the proper orientation with the score marks facing out already, so I'm banking on that back rail being the one that is tuned to the carriage.

Hmm, it's definitely not that easy to move my carriage along the x- axis freehand. I would estimate 20 pounds of force (a good shove to get it moving). I'm thinking that I put the rails back together in the wrong order. They were both labeled top rail, but I didn't know which was the front or back.
