Double side tape a 1" strip of MDF to both side by the stops and the clamps. Then mill them down far enough to be able to be able to get a good hold on the finish piece you need flat. This milling will be very quick and will make the surface of the shim boards exactly parallel with top rails. Now also the advantage to this step is you know your "0" point. You will be able to adjust your gauge or your plunge stop to the final thickness you desire. Enjoy your perfectly planed board.

Also I like the way Bill has one of those cam style locks on each arm . that would definitely work better I think for narrower stock the way he did it.

( A photo might help to see what you are doing?) Which model of Legacy do you have? and how wide were the boards? A sheet of 3/4" or 1/2" partial board could have also been used as well. as far as your use of the horizontal vice goes, the rails can be placed on top as you did. or under the bottom side of the rails, again depending on the room/ model of Legacy, and the size of the wood. Ive even placed a thick slab of wood under my machine before and planed the wood below my rails all together, (my Legacy sits on my work bench.) Did you just clean up the wood for storage? or where you able to make something with your newly planed wood? Playing with the Legacy is the best way to get use- to using it. Remember its the Art'est that makes the art, not the machine, And it takes time and learning/play to fully understand all the possibility's to get the most out of your wood working tools. NEVER STOP LEARNING and Enjoy your time in the wood shop/porch. ;-) Have a great day.

Used the horizontal vise to plane a cutting board down ( turned out good) . I put the vise crossways on top of the bed and had to take off my router extension for it to fit . Am i using it right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
