yes I agree coming into the LOM world after the fact I am just grateful we can
still find so many parts direct from Legacy. This way we know they are right
and again help promote them continuing to make parts. I have ordered several
things already and only have had the LOM 1200 for a month. They are great to
work with and provide a very quality product for a good price. Yes very wise

To all,
I, too, agree with Tim. As long as we LOM Owners show Legacy that we need and
are willing to buy parts for our LOMs - it increases the likelihood that they
will be willing to make parts for our "Legacy" (In this case meaning no longer
in production.) Mills.
Thanks you Tim for your "Words of Wisdom".

Joe in NY made a batch ofsplit nut a while back. You all might want to ask for
availabilitysecond. My first supplier would be Legacy so they will keep making
theparts needed for our machines.

Hello all,
I am not sure how well a split nut made from HDPE will hold up - but here is
my2-cents' worth:
HDPE (Look on bottom of plastic jugs, bottles, etc for the Recycle symbol
w/the#2) is the only plastic that I know of that we can "re-purpose" athome.
Do an Internet/BING search for this - you'll be amazed.
I find that the plastic Folgers and Maxwell House coffee canisters are
labeled#2 - as are most milk jugs. The two coffee brands yield red and
blueplastic respectively.
My thought is that you embed a matching Acme rod into the mold you melt the
#2plastic in. Once cooled, you should be able to "unscrew" the rod fromthe
plastic billet. You then cut/machine the billet to the exteriormeasurements
you need and then split it down the center line. "Machining" can be done with
your router, bandsaw, etc.
Does anyone have an idea of how well the #2 plastic (HDPE) will hold up? Even
if it wears down after 6 months of use - you will be able to reuse thatworn out
piece, with some added #2 plastic, and melt/mold a new piece. Ifyour mold &
billet is long enough, you can produce a year's-worth in onemold.
If anyone tries this - or something similar, please share pictures and results.

Subject: Re: Wood Chuck Tour by Mike Pung
i'll offer an opinion here, as this could have been a problem forme on my
recently acquired 1500...the problem is, due to the action/movement ofthe lead
screw, the threads in the split nut wear sideways, especially whenusing a drive
motor...think of each cross section of thread as a square(seephoto)...I
measured the cross section of the thread(in a new nut) tobe .140" wide...in the
photo of the worn nut, that same dimension is downto .065...so you could say
the thread went from 1/8" full(new) to1/16"...and sanding the nut down is not
going to improve the function ofthe nut, in my opinion...maybe early on you can
sand the nut to get a bit morelife out of it, but that's it...the key to
solving this problem is finding the5/8-4 acme thread tap...once you have the
tap, to make a new split nut issomewhat simple...and anyone who has that
"hinged" split nut, I wouldswap that out and set up a sliding split nut...much
more problematic to makethat hinged split nut...so, if any member knows where
to get that tap, here oroverseas, please let the group know...I certainly would
like to purchaseone...barring that, I would also attempt to make a tap from
some acme, threadedrod, if I had to...and the casting idea is also an excellent
idea...joe b.
