Hello and Good morning .There was a video put out a few years ago on Oval
turning, (I know its not the same.but a lot of the details that he did were
WOW! in the OT since.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4c_yFmaHso&t=7s
Forster Giesmann results are things of beauty that I one day would like to be
able to make my self. Its not just the Oval, but the details added to his work
that has me intrigued.
I have spent a LOT of TIME but not as many 0's on this concept. (thanks Joe, I
will remember your friends quote.) ;-)
I have to go.have a great day everyone.
C.A.G.

Hey Tim!... thanks for the reply!... a response and some ideas to consider...
the design I seem to be considering will always be in place, ready to be used,
with minimal time to setup... the hex spindle being considered would always be
in its position of above and forward of the Legacy lead screw, which would not
be ideal as far as using the Legacy as it was originally intended... i.e. you
would have to lean over and reach in to make adjustments... not ideal, but like
you said, to remove the "accessory" and reattach it every time you wanted to
use it, would certainly be a P.I.T.A. … I considered putting the hex rod on the
backside of the machine, but it is critical that the rod and Legacy lead screw
be in somewhat perfect unison... and the further apart they might be, the
harder it is to achieve that unison... so I choose the front mount design, with
chain and sprockets going down to the lead screw... the hex would be the same
length as the lead screw, so all of the components would stay on the machine
through all operations... the cam "assembly" would be easily detachable from
the router carriage, and slid down to the end of the machine, where it
hopefully would not be in the way of normal machine use... and the chain and
sprockets would remain as a one-to-one ratio, without change... certainly you
could start playing with the diameters of the sprockets for different ratios,
which would be easy enough, but that is something I MIGHT! think could be
considered down the road... once the mod was completed(if it ever is
completed!), a lot could be done to expand on it's capabilities... I just want
to see if the basics could be up and running for the moment... I could really
push these ideas forward if I had daily access to my machine, bit it is
currently in my warehouse in upstate NY(ready to be used, but not really on a
Monday-to-Friday basis)… so this mod is going to take some time... even
considering obtaining a dedicated machine(1200? or 1500?) for this project if I
could find one in a price range that would make sense to go that route... that
way I could have daily access to the project... again, thanks for sharing your
experiences... it is informative... Joe
