Can you take a photo of your mill so I can get you the correct manual.  Template turning does work, it just take practice.  There is very little documentation on the technique.  The video bill pointed out is a very good reference. Tim On Apr 17, 2018, 7:54 PM, at 7:54 PM, Tekin Turan

Re: Need help with Clamping systems and contour following setup

Hi Tim- Cannot find the manual. Is it available online somewhere you could point me? For templates, my thought was to do round work like a copy lathe. A few of the posts I’ve read here lead me to believe that isn’t something the LOM is designed for. > On Apr 17, 2018, at 9:22 PM, Tim Krause

Do you have the manual?  That should cover assembly of the horizontal and vertical clamps. Are you planning on using the templates to turn something or for doing some flat work?  Tim PS. Welcome to the group. On Apr 16, 2018, 6:28 PM, at 6:28 PM, Turan Tekin wrote: >Hi

New details, The model 1000 the y axis leadscrew was an option.  It came without a split nut.  It was a block of delrin tapped for the acme thread.  If you wanted to move the y axis freely you would remove one screws and that would set it free.  The split nut was yet another option that made

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

This is driving me a little nutty, The split nut that you show photographed was on the early model 1000/1500 machines. I've now seen this in a Legacy video. When and how they went to the modern split nut escapes me. I don't know if it was an upgrade option or simply a newer model 1000/1500
