Good morning Bill Legacy calls it the ribbon twist, it is a side cutting method, using a long straight router bit. The pitch is the longest one I can do using the X2 gear set.
As I said earlier, the ONLY new concepts here,is the indexing templates. (everything else is covered in The Legacy manuals.) That and the use of this Banksia POD, When I looked up these pod's on the internet, it states ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksia Dose this plant grow around where you live? It turns well on the Legacy, C.A.G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Bulkeley" <bulke...@mmnet.com.au> To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 17, 2017 9:14:48 PM Subject: RE: going square/with a twist. Nice what pitch and bits did you use? Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of CURTIS GEORGE Sent: Sunday, 18 June 2017 11:00 AM To: Legacy-Ornamental-Mills Subject: going square/with a twist. Hello all. Another play day, I may not have spelled the name correctly in the photo name, Banksia pod is the correct spelling. As I understand its a seed pod (much like our pine cone, we have in the US) I got mine a number of years ago. So when I was cleaning my shop I found this one. since I have never worked with this, I figured why not try the Legacy? I am happy with my results. I used my indexing disks to get the correct spacing and number of starts, We have talked about these template before with the group. but for the newer members, these disks (square, triangle,hexagon ...) are a method the make sure you get the right number of starts every time with out using math. all you do is add the disk to the indexing plate, use a pointer, line up the edge of the template to the pointer, and start cutting. at the end of the cut, bring the carriage back to the starting position. run the gears until the next corner of the template aligns with the pointer. lock the carriage onto the acme screw, and then start the next cut. repeat until you have all the cuts made. (in this case I wanted 4 cuts to make a square.) Please let me know what you think? C.A.G.
