I think I would not increase the friction on the opposite side of the lead screw. Leave that to float. If the round bushings on the rails are not touching the top and bottom of the groove, I'd be willing to bet they have divots in them. You might want to rotate them to a new spot fresh spot.

Hello All, I'm really curious if we created a monthly challenge if anyone would participate. I could see a challenge where you are asked to create a project like a clock and post pictures by the end of each month. There's really no winner or loser, but more of a chance to get more than one

I have to chuckle because your story is like so many people that have made the trek down cnc lane. It was a good idea but some details got in the way and the parts got put on a shelf but the desire never went away. Look at it this way, your not reinventing the wheel, but perfecting the cnc

Hi Ken I think the protective/aggressive side came out in a few members if I recall the thread you are talking about. I think certain members of the group object to people asking for exact plans of the Legacy equipment so they can make a copy. That's different from a question where someone is

Hi Jeff, As a new member I've appreciated the few notes you have posted. Most members that are interested in joining this group own at least one of Legacy's machines. Very few over the last two years have signed up thinking about buying one. I would have to say the majority of recent new

That's the best screw I've ever seen :-). Really, I've seen lot's of nuts and bolts made from wood, but I don't ever recall seeing a Wood wood screw. What's the diameter and length? How funny would that be mounted to the wall or on both sides of a partition! -Tim - Original Message

Which one are you talking about? The one used for the internal thread was the 60º V side cutting bit from magnate. The bearing was removed in the video. The other bit was also a 60º from magnate. That's my humble opinion. -Tim - Original Message - From: Bill Bulkeley
