Hi Curt,

 

Where's the Road Trip taking you?

I'll bet to pick up that Woodchuck for Bill - Down Under!  LoL!   He could only 
wish! (Sorry, Bill.)

I bet it's for Mike Pung.

Very nice of you if that's the case.

 

Safe travels.

Hi everyone, 

The time has finally come that the woodchuck has to go. It's taking up too much

about 3 to 5 years and it comes with everything you see in the pictures. If 
anybody wants to come down to Naperville Illinois they can have it for free. I 
will not be able to meet you anywhere with it, or truck it across the country. 
And I'm just generally unwilling to ship it. But if you want it it's yours.

Re: New member introduction

2021-11-29 Thread 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills

 Wow! this topic has taken off. 
I've made a split nut for the Legacy before.  I own two taps 5/8x4 one is a 
home made ,( made out of a part of an old leadscrew). and the other is one that 
I found on E-bay a while back.The nut is not hard to make.
As far as Bills leadscrew, I personally did not think it would work. and I told 
him so. (He/Bill went a long way to prove me wrong!) ;-p ( Good for him. and as 
he said that was a long time ago.)
When I extended my Legacy, I just left the leadscrew the same, When and if I 
need, I can always just flip the part over and cut the remaining wood on the 
Flip-side. ;-pTo be serious, The only long jobs that I've done, I just needed 
the length to hold the part. the cuts were only done in the mid section and the 
ends were left square. And when I did my sail boat mast, (in the archives, a 
14' wooden mast.) I just used the carriage for the travel and did not use the 
screw at all.  I had a plan "B" (but never used it.) I have a 5/8" round stock, 
I planed to use it to bridge the gap difference , and just move the leadscrew 
when I needed.  My acme screw is held in place with couplings, all I planed to 
do, was slip the rod in between the couplings and add another to extend the 
screw.
So Jeff there is always more then one way to "skin a cat" so to speak. ;-)
Have a good night.talk to you and all tomorrow.

 Thanks Bill, I wouldn’t have considered it previously but I should be able 
make delrin replacements with this tool. I do not have metal milling 
capabilities but plastic drilling/tapping should be doable.
As a related question….Has anyone tried making or buying brass split nuts 
verses the delrin? 
Pros/cons?

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

  

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped.

No I drilled one side and turned a pin on the other and glued them togeather 
with a special industrial locktight it has never moved since the joint is as

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing

Hey Mac, 
Yes I had my Brother do it for me. 
I could have used a hole saw but you and I know how that 
can turn out to look like. I had some flat stock but was not 
has heavy has I wanted. Was looking for 3/16 Ted (my Brother) had
1/4 so we went with that. I'm still going to cut the angle like LOM did
I just wanted to get it up and running last night. 
I still had to drill and slot the actual mounting hole to attach it to the LOM
as the pattern I used from the 1500 was different of course. 
I just drilled 2 holes and then proceeded to tip the piece in to the bit to 
slot it so to speak and then cleaned it up. 
Cost? I'll laser engrave something for him. :)Kind Regards,

Tim,
Very nice.
How did you get that very clean looking large hole in the steel plate?
Did your brother do it for you?
Where did you get the steel plate?   Cost?

Re: Spindle drive

Hi guys (and gals/Brigitte),
 
Tim & Bill - you bring up a good point.
The LOM headstock with the ball bearing spindle support is very nice.  Too bad 
Legacy doesn't still produce them.
Has anyone ever posted the "recipe" for how one goes about replacing their 
headstock's plastic bearing sleeve with a ball bearing one?
By that I mean - from start to finish - including the very pieces you order 
(and from whom you get them) and how to cut, drill, tap, etc. in order to 
install the new ball bearing spindle support.
Just a thought  - since we have a fair number of new Group members and some may 
want to "upgrade" their spindle.
Cheers!

Thanks for the photos of your spindle drive. I’ll start looking for a large 
pulley and motor. Your method appears less complicated than the one using a 
motor drive and gears. I don’t need a Mercedes just something to spin the work 
for sanding. Whatever I do it needs to be soon before we have a few nights in 
South Louisiana when the temperature falls below freezing and I loose my garage 
workshop  to plant that have to be protected from freezing. Also I noted the 
discussion about a live center tailstock. Do you have any problems with the 
work spinning on the Legacy tailstock or do you have a live center.

Hello there Jack
 
The Legacy drive hub on your lathe is a good idea. One that I live by.  I was 
told by a friend of mine, to keep everything uniformed, that way you can go 
form one machine to another with out having to change anything.
 
The spindle drive motor I have is hinged and gravity holds the motor to the 
pulley. The drive motor dose not need to turn fast, 80 rpm is the fastest is 
needs to turn, The  pulley needs to have a slot cut into it, so it will mesh 
with the Legacy's headstock spindle. I 5/16" thumb screw is all that holds the 
to together. 
I made a pulley out of wood before I found this large one. You don't need 
anything fancy. I've made a number of 
different adaptors over the years, including a wooden Legacy adaptor a few 
years back.
 
I hope this helps?

 Hey Jeff,
 I actually made two angle iron brackets and used several  oval LOM

 holes in walls
 like other's did lol.

 I can try to find pix if you'd like???

RE: New member introduction

I have considered it, brass would mean lubrication which could get messy but it 
would be doable. 

I think the idea was wear out the nut not the thread as that would be easier 
and cheaper to replace if I remember right.

Thanks Bill, I wouldn’t have considered it previously but I should be able make 
delrin replacements with this tool. I do not have metal milling capabilities 
but plastic drilling/tapping should be doable.

 

As a related question….Has anyone tried making or buying brass split nuts 
verses the delrin? 

 

Pros/cons?

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

 

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

RE: New member introduction

Put some sandpaper on it and have it travel and you could sand up a smooth 
piece lol

 

Sanding on the mill now there is another long talking subject drill or motor 
mounted sanding mops following the spiral using the gears lol

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my stock 900)

 When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you
 installing a longer one or joining them in some manner?

 Hello again Jeff

 Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take
 some slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and
 using some time of object to hold the end of your stock.
 I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live
 center.
 Then latter I extended my rails.
 Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

 When there is a will, there is Always a way! ;-)

 Thanks for the background Mike and the warm welcome. I think I saw some
 snow coming down today.

 I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my
 stock 900) but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move
 around. I am not familiar with the previous generation models and their
 compatibility with the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what
 generation to call these since Legacy improved something it seemed almost
 every year for a while and came out with yet another model / package to
 offer.

 The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made
 by the owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it
 with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn
 up in the big bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the
 Steely as we call them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add
 strength.  I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way
 of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped between
 rails.  I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a diameter of 25"
 All the way down to roping a tooth pick.  Welcome to the group that does
 not accept "limitations"

 To add a little input to the recent group conversations

 Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will 
 take some slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the

 I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live

 Then latter I extended my rails.
 Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked

where not making them but maybe things changed.

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

You know me by now Tim I will try anything if I think it will work lololol

Right, just smooth up removing a tiny bit of glue overflow I’m talking like a 
half dozen strokes of a needle file, lineing it all up inside the nut was the 
trick.

I didn’t do a video I’m not sure I even posted it to the group like I said 
nobody thought it would work, I think I just showed Curt and Tim K at the time. 
I had nothing too lose I would have just cleaned out all the glue and silver 
brazed it if it failed but it didn’t it’s been years now. because of the soft 
Delrin leadscrew nut I knew the joint would have to be real neat the pin kept 
the joint strait and the nut kept the thread exactly lined up.

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed

Bone Turning, I have turned some deer antler pens upon request which were well 
seasoned (dry) but there was a distinct smell like burnt skin / fingernail

Thanks Tim, don’t go out of your way on my account. If you happen upon them, 
please send them over. 

 

I do have some short rails so support ideas to handle the extra length/weight 
are welcome.

 

 I am still on the fence on joining two lead screws or finding a longer 
continuous one verses flipping the work but I have some time before that spring 
project has to be started.

RE: New member introduction

The taps are still out there 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174986834390?hash=item28be0731d6:g:zNUAAOSwGk5f4Z1a

 

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

 

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped.

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some

 The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made
 by the owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it
 with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn
 up in the big bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the
 Steely as we call them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add
 strength.  I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way
 of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped between
 rails.  I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a diameter of 25"
 All the way down to roping a tooth pick.  Welcome to the group that does

RE: New member introduction

Right, just smooth up removing a tiny bit of glue overflow I’m talking like a 
half dozen strokes of a needle file, lineing it all up inside the nut was the 
trick.

I didn’t do a video I’m not sure I even posted it to the group like I said 
nobody thought it would work, I think I just showed Curt and Tim K at the time. 
I had nothing too lose I would have just cleaned out all the glue and silver 
brazed it if it failed but it didn’t it’s been years now. because of the soft 
Delrin leadscrew nut I knew the joint would have to be real neat the pin kept 
the joint strait and the nut kept the thread exactly lined up.

Re: New member introduction

OK I will dig a bit and come up with them.
I finished the job and took it down until the next time.
Just keep the rails and brackets handy for the next time and push the
machine back
to its home.
Like I said I flipped my parts.

RE: New member introduction

I understand I felt the same way welding would take a great deal of work to get 
a smooth joint

Mine I had lots of time to move and twist in place which I did inside the 
Delrin leadscrew nut

Then clamped thread in a pair of V-blocks then removed the leadscrew nut and 
let dry after 2 days a few light strokes with a file and the joint was just 
about perfect like I said its hard to even find

Wow, there is a good amount of surface area but that must be also some good 
epoxy. Thanks for sharing.

 

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped. 
(Should have gotten more spares)

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed 
the transition?

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Wow, there is a good amount of surface area but that must be also some good 
epoxy. Thanks for sharing.

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped.

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Bone Turning, I have turned some deer antler pens upon request which were well

Re: New member introduction

To jump the hurdle of to short of acme I just flipped the part over and
only using the extension for the tail stock.
Pretty sure that's the only practical way to do it.

Re: New member introduction

Hey Jeff,
I actually made two angle iron brackets and used several  oval LOM
connectors
to attach the extra LOM rail and then supported the far end with a roller
stand modified
with a flat cross piece. It worked excellent and I did not have to put
holes in walls
like other's did lol.

I can try to find pix if you'd like???

Re: Last Chance: Woodchuck

Hey Rick do you still have this?
I may figure out a way to come get it. I'm building another machine and
several items of this
also would work on my WoodChuck.
I'd like you to hold on until I get back to you if possible.

Re: New member introduction

Interesting. 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Hi everyone,

The time has finally come that the woodchuck has to go. It's taking up too much 
room in the garage and I never actually used it. It's been sitting there for 
about 3 to 5 years and it comes with everything you see in the pictures. If 
anybody wants to come down to Naperville Illinois they can have it for free. I 
will not be able to meet you anywhere with it, or truck it across the country. 
And I'm just generally unwilling to ship it. But if you want it it's yours.

Saw your note recommending a spindle drive for the LoM. How do you add a drive 
motor to the 1200. Before I moved I had a lathe with a 3 jar chuck. I ordered a 
new hub from legacy and simply moved my work to the lathe with the hub for 
sanding and other details. A spindle drive motor wound be very useful. I 
checked the archives but I didn’t see anything about a spindle drive

Re: Spindle drive

Hey Mac,

Yes I had my Brother do it for me.
I could have used a hole saw but you and I know how that
can turn out to look like. I had some flat stock but was not
has heavy has I wanted. Was looking for 3/16 Ted (my Brother) had
1/4 so we went with that. I'm still going to cut the angle like LOM did
I just wanted to get it up and running last night.
I still had to drill and slot the actual mounting hole to attach it to the
LOM
as the pattern I used from the 1500 was different of course.
I just drilled 2 holes and then proceeded to tip the piece in to the bit to
slot it so to speak and then cleaned it up.
Cost? I'll laser engrave something for him. :)

Thanks Curt, I will have to research these options. I don’t have any metal 
milling capability but definitely something to think about.
