Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

ok, no time last night to get to the details of this upgrade, so here we go...the four wheel "trolleys" used here are made by unistrut, to fit their P1000 strut channel...they were $21.00 each, so no great expense there...unistrut used spring pins for axels, which made the axel hollow...that

So your woodchuck split nut is not what was shown in my carriage pictures? Is that what I'm reading? Can you show us a photo? On Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at 10:44:28 PM UTC-7, Richard Ellis wrote: > > Hi > Interesting about the split nut. on my Woodchuck it is hinged, the lower > half in not

Hi Interesting about the split nut. on my Woodchuck it is hinged, the lower half in not threaded ,just bare,just there to carry the leadscrew. On the Revo ,shorter bed and leadscrew the nut is just a half that slides to closed position, no back piece . I like the idea of a sliding nut for the

Joe, Do you have two wing nuts that connect the router base to your solid acme nut on the y axis?  That also appears to be another method to allow the axis to float with the solid nut version. ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​ On Aug 2, 2017, 2:16 PM, at 2:16 PM, 'joe biunno' via Legacy Ornamental Mills

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

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

wow tim!...incredible photos and many thanks...here is some additional info that is now better explained, thanks to you...I do not have the "L" shaped, nylon blocks on the underside of the Y carriage, as I now see in your photos...they were replaced by a previous owner with an oak wood and ball

They where uhmw, and they have slotted mounting holes in the carriage. Also notice that there is no mechanism to keep the carriage held to the rails. It just lifts up. That's all I know about this subject. -Tim PS, Credit to Mike Pung for allowing me to take photos of his carriage. On

Hi Joe, Yes that is a model 1500 in theory.  Essentially a model 1500 is the same as a model 1000 except for it came with all the options.  It was built pre 1998.  The gears that you are seeing are the same as all of the modern aluminum rail model 1000.  They are fine pitch so the main gear of
