Re: How do I smooth out the cut?

[Chris Smith]

To answer C.A.G. I am using the motor to turn the gears.

Think I got it 99% fixed.

Took out the router, cleaned up everything, put it back together and made
sure everything was level.  Next I tightened the tailstock a little. Played
around with the Y axis until you can't see the ridges and can feel just the
slightest ridge that I should be able to sand out. Yeah!

Re: How do I smooth out the cut?

['Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills]

 Hello Chris.are you using the gears to drive the carriage/ router? or are you 
turning free hand? (hand cranking.)

Re: How do I smooth out the cut?

[Chris Smith]

Thanks to all for the advice.  Love getting such quick responses!!

I am using the Magnate 2704 Bottom Cleaning bit (brand new) so expected a 
pretty smooth cut.  The rails look OK.  I'm suspecting the router might 
have shifted slightly during the move to my shop.  Think I'll try 
dis-assembling it and re-assembling it, checking how level it is.

I'll keep you posted on the results.
Thanks to you all.

RE: How do I smooth out the cut?

[Bill Bulkeley]

Feed rate too, slower can give a better finish if all the other stuff mentioned 
is right.. magnates flat bottom bits are the only ones that produce a nice 
finish i have found, they are designed for the legacy to do just that.

 

Another thing worth checking if your mill has aluminium rails make sure they 
are all the correct way up they might look the same but it does make a 
difference if one is one way up and another is the wrong way up

with the cross slide the wide part of the rail the little groove or score mark 
in the middle that runs the entire length of the rail

faces up on both rails and on the outer long rails it faces out away from the 
mill at the front and out at the back. So many owners make this mistake when 
assembling their mills.

One thing to look at will be the levelness of the router.  If the router is not 
parallel to the rails and is higher on one side it will leave a ridge.  It 
could be as simple as sawdust under the y axis plate.   Otherwise, open the 
split nut and get the carriage out of the way.  Rotate the work with the gears 
and use a palm sander as it rotates.

How do I smooth out the cut?

I'm a new owner of the Legacy 1000EX and have been practicing on some dry

Re: Rotary Table w/drive shaft

[Tim Ziegler]

Thanks for everyone's input on this subject of price suggestions.
A good rule of thumb I have used for years now is 50% of new depending on
availability of course and age etc...
We came to an agreeable price and I cover the shipping as well.  (Now to
get it home)
Very well worth it to me to have this table for my business.
I am so pleased to be a part of your group even though I've entered in much
later then most.
