Hey Joe, Yes, I was assuming a stationary carriage, for faceplate work. I suppose you could run a splined jack-shaft the length of the bed, supported at both ends, with the driven sprocket floating on it and moving with the carriage. Friction and tolerances would probably be significant issues.
I’m curious, what are you planning to mill that would need both vertical and horizontal wave patterns?

I would need the carriage to move along the X axis so various "pump" action cuts could be done along a spiral of some sort... so the pumping action needs to be in motion while the carriage is in motion... I am racking my brain on this one... I have done a lot of mods on my Legacy, and some that I have done the design work on but just don't have the time right now to execute and build... but this mod has me stumped to the point that I cannot get the design worked out, never mind what it might take to complete the actual mod to a full working stage!... I like the idea of coming off the end of the lead screw... the problem is how to transfer that motion to a X-axis moving carriage, along the full length of the bed... let the quest continue!... LOL!... thanks... Joe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
