Hi Bill The first rope beads that I made were done by the hand cranking method, "Talk about a long rope..." ;-) Using the limit switch is much easer. I used a button cutting bit from Magnate. (#352) , but did not go the full plung depth. (I did not relise my mistake until I was more than half way done, and at that point, I say keep everything uniformed. SAME IS GOOD, Even if its wrong.the eyes will not ketch it. Most of the time.) ;-) gota run. Have a good day. C.A.G.

What cutter did you use to cut the bead Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of CURTIS GEORGE Sent: Monday, 26 January 2015 7:37 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: rope and beads Hello and Good morning. Yes I was Showing off, Just a little bit, The rope beads are very easy to make, It just took me a little while to figure out how to do it. I am sending two pictures that explain how it was done, But In a Nut shell I used the gears and pitch to make the ropes and then set up this jig to stop the motor every 1/4" rotation. The screw turns, and once the handle hits the limit switch it stops, where I then plung down to make a bead, then hit the over ride on my limit switch, which advances the spindle on the next button location. Pretty simple! Right? ;-) Now there is some minor adjustment parts that I want to still make, I am going to make the handle/stop adjustable so that I can fine tune the buttons spacing, But that's it for now. I hope this helps someone out there, next project. It is fun and easy to do. Have a good day all.
