Hi Curt and Ray
Maybe I didn't understand Ray's approach but I would chuck the pencil in
the router. Then lower the router so the pencil just touches the cylinder.
Then turn the X axis crank with the router off and the pencil will draw the
spiral line on the cylinder. Now with a flex able ta
I agree that is a straight forward approach. I don't think I could make a
series of equal distant cuts by eye. If I understand your approach you
would the pencil point on the cylinder and turn the X axis crew until the
distance desired is the length of the line. Then repeat for the next cut.

Hi
The sliding table allows one to mill any project whose width is wider than
the distance between the X rails. That is flat stock. Turning stock is
still limited by the distance between the X rails. Also these projects are
longer than the distance as well. So one could not just rotate the st

Burney added V bearings to all three axes X,Y and Z. He added hold down

I don't know much about CAD programs but if your cad program can work

You might check with Bernie. He once talked about doing something along

It appears to me that Legacy will be spending a lot of time on implementing,

there will be many upgrades or support for the non CNC machines. They haven't
