Re: Technique for Turning large pieces of wood on the Legacy

2020-06-11 Thread 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills

Good morning Richard !To be honest with you, the rotary table is something
that I had not thought of. That is one Legacy tool that I do not use all that
often, Perhaps its time to take another look at this tool, again?
Bill, cutting off the corners is always a good idea,
The main concept, AS I see it, Is to take more light/small cuts to remove the
wood, its all to common for people to want to remove to much on one cut. It may
seem faster, But this method is harder on the equipment and will take away the
quality of cut, Honestly it dose not save any time in the long run. I try to
take lots of little/lighter cuts when turning on both the lathe and the
Legacy."The Might, Makes Right Concept" is one that is hard to get away form,
For me it was, re-enforced from my Youth,Today, I have to remind my self, Just
because you can, dose not mean you should, Getting old Stinks, but it has
taught me more then a few lessons. ;-) When I say, OLD it dose not
necessarily mean Age, I think of it as wisdom/understanding. Everything is
relative, Ive never been this old before... "Hey" I have reached the age of
enlightenment ! ;-p
have a good day everyone.C.A.G.On Thursday, June 11, 2020, 02:32:00 AM EDT,

Hello Everyone.
I was talking to a friend on mine about turning large pieces of wood on the
lathe. If the wood is not balanced correctly it can be very scary, I told
him I use my Legacy to turn large wood turnings, the slow speed is great for
maintaining balance, since the router is what is moving fast not the wood.
When I turn large spindles that are not balanced, I use the Legacy in a
planing mode. I lock the router depth of cut to the lowest point on the
spindle, and then use the Y axis to control the depth of cut.
I mount the wood, between centers using the gears to turn the wood, I use
the gears in this case more for indexing then I would do for turning. I turn
the wood, a small amount of rotation,( lets say 1/8" rotation,) then I plane
the router over the wood,(form end to end of the wood) and then index the wood
again. I start with the Y axis as far off center as I can, then after every
index, I move the Y axis closer to the center.(adjusting the depth of cut.)
Using this type of cutting is much faster and safer, then turning as a
lathe would, if I hit a thick area that I can not plane through, I then I just
back off the depth of cut (Y axis), taking a smaller bite form the wood,
repeating this process until I have the woods diameter uniform. Once the
spindle is round, it can be turned more easily on either the Legacy or Lathe
with out the fear of throwing the wood or bogging down your router,with large
cuts.
Just a quick thought of turning process's/ techniques.
I have used this technique for turning any large spindle, form 3"-10". I
just cut a 6" spindle yesterday using this method, Its never given me any
problems. Small/light cuts over and over... is much safer then hogging off
thick cut of wood. Its easier on your nerves, and your machine. ;-)
If you like I can make a video of this process? its not very exciting, but it
is a much safer method then just trying to turn a large piece of wood. Have a
good day/night. (its 1:30 am, now. So for me its good night.) Talk to you all

As long as the router reaches the wood and you can fit it on the table the 
short answer I would say is yes

I too turn large diameter pieces on the mill the only thing I do different is 
cut the corners off on the table or band saw if the blank is square. I think a 
video would be a good idea if a picture says a thousand words then a video will 
tell many thousands

Of words. And I always like legacy videos
