Re: ROLL CALL!!!

2023-09-05 Thread Tom Dotta
Hi All  especially the frequent posters,  Thanks Guys from an avid reader
but no longer much of a user.

Still upright and at 88 that is not all bad.

Does anyone know the total count of Legacy mills, as well as
the group count?   It seems there must be several hundred

machines but less than one hundred group members??

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be nice to have a directory like the OTI to
better facilitate interaction within the group?

Cheers to allTom D   California

Re: bowl

2022-07-16 Thread Tom Dotta
Assuming the goblet is turned full depth what is the setup to allow such 
long reach deep turning?   Love to see a video of the process. 

Also love to see the finished project after the tool is sharpened and cuts 
properly.  Monumental effort!  Most people would not need

 a refill of that wine glass.  LOL

Re: Ukraine-Arkady Paka needs our help

2022-03-18 Thread Tom Dotta
Hey fellow LOM'ers

I'm sure that we all shed a tear for the incredible destruction and
personal suffering the Ukrainian people  are experiencing at hands of a
Despot.

I also believe most of us would like to do something to help so I would
like to propose a test to determine if we can actually make something work.

To follow up on Tim & Bills' suggestions, if we all sent one of them five
dollars to be forwarded to Arkady it could help disproportionately.  These
super

 brave people are fighting and dying for all of us so that we can
continue to enjoy our precious freedom.

Tim or Bill, would either of you be willing to do the work of receiving and
forwarding donations?  If so please let the groupe know where and how to

 send a donation.

Let's bring a little cheer to a cheerless situation and 'Have a Nice Day'
  Tom Dotta

i mostly just do hobby & Gifts and find that signing with a contrasting

Hi Bill
Nice work using the rotary table.  Could you tell more about the scroll saw
cutting the metal gear.  The foot is especially interesting.
Is the machine an Aussie brand?  Would sure appreciate a pix of the whole
machine if you have time.
Thanks   Tom Dotta in California

Tom again The above picture (from Bill?) with the device mounted on a
compound cross slide is the improved prototype I mentioned,
you can see the brown rosette with pumping action mounted up against the
indexing plate. I believe the two smaller photos are the unit actually
developed by the same guys for Nova.More as I find itcheers   Tom

co-designer of the attachment is indeed a Kiwi whose name escapes me at the

I have a lot of photos of an improved version he and his partner developed

Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video

2018-12-05 Thread Tom Dotta
Hi Joe Curt Tim & Bill

Your mention of ornamental machines and high costs, which are surely there
for the best of the best which are so drop dead gorgeous and rare they
justify the price if only to admire. I think of them as works of art surely
on a par with some of the old masters which no one expects to do anything
but be beautiful.
I know from reading posts for several years that any of you guys are more
than capable of making a functional ornamental lathe so let me give you the
name of an ornamental turner who has a mission of bringing the satisfaction
of ornamental work to the less than wealthy woodturner.  I believe he not
only has plans available but possibly some kits mostly made from low cost
MDF that actually produce quality work. The gentleman is Jon Magill and his
lathe design is generally known as the MDF Rose Engine.
Some names of outstanding makers past and present makers  Holtzapffel,
Bower, Goyen, Evans, Made, Lindow, Newton

Hope this helps  Cheers  Tom Dotta

Re: The extension is working

Hi Tracy

Excuse the Kiwi terminology I should have realized 'bits' here are cutting
bits and in NZ bits often means ;'part of as in 'bits and pieces'.
What I was really asking is ' are the cnc motors and controls part of a
Legacy upgrade' or your own 'home brew' design?  Either way the result
speaks for itself.

Hi Curt   Kudus for your continual experimentation. I particularly like the
upper right in the fourth photo, the spiral design.  I wonder if you have a
rotary table and could do a similar design on the inside of the bowl?
It might  be more visible and show off your fine craftsmanship better.

Re: the legacy as a high tech ornamental lathe...the next level?

Hi Joe B
Sterve White is a past president of the Ornamental Turners of America, a
professional tool & die maker an endless experimenter with new ideas and a
tireless booster of Ornamental Turning. Together with David Lindow also a
past president he makes and sells several highly accurate machines for the
centuries old craft of Ornamental turning.
 Peter the Great of Russia had 19 different machines in the 1700's.
On making or buying a rose machine you might check out Jon Magill who has
designned a MDF machine that can be built for about $200 or if $'s are no
concern you can buy a brand new absolutely beautiful modern Rose Engine
(look up MADE LATHE) starting at about 85K$. Nearly all Holtzzaffel lathes

Re: A response from Andy Anderson Of Legacy Regarding Support.

2017-11-15 Thread Tom Dotta
Hi Tim et al

I'm not a very active participant or user though I do have three mills. An
old steel rail machine bought from a cabinet shop, a 900 bought from Legacy
and a 1200 bought from a private individual. As Tim says above if Legacy is
monitoring the group it would seem little more effort (expense) to make a
list of what is available for purchase together with whom to contact there
to make the purchase. Licensing a reliable and willing person to make other
replacement parts seems reasonable. Though personally disappointed in what
has been represented as Legacy's position re the manual machines it seems
just a bit of give on both sides could resolve the issues to the benefit of
all. I'm sure neither side truly wants the other to fail.

Re: Electricity Supply

2017-05-29 Thread Tom Dotta
HIRichard & Curtis

Curtis a little different not cut down at the plug (receptacle) but
rather two 110Volt legs into the main house electrical panel. From there
usually through a circuit breaker (or fuses) one leg continues on to each
110v circuit while both incoming 110v legs are fed to each 220v circuit.
RichardMy Powermatic 20/36 plugs into a normal 220V single phase
(2-110v legs)  circuit but the power goes thru an inverter? on the lathe
that converts it into 3 phase power which allows dial an rpm as well as a
toggle switch to reverse motor direction. This is all standard stock for
this machine here in the US.. Small capacity phase inverters are available
here in the US quite cheaply $100-300.
For larger machines in my home shop that require 3phase power I use a
rotary phase converter which through a process I do not understand,
utilizing a box full of electronic gadgets runs a 7.5 hp 3 phase electric
motor that then outputs a 3 phase current that allows several machines to
run simultaneously. Pretty silly in a one man hobby shop, but heytoys
are important!

Cheers   Tom Dotta


As an asideI was fortunate  to live in beautiful New Zealand for a
while and there the electricity is very different.  240Volt 50 cycle is the
standard household power and power is on one wire (leg).   They still have
a neutral and a ground but basically electric motor items do not go back
and forth.

Hey Max I've kind of had that thought but also respect the wishes and
privacy of our leaders. How about this, if you want to meet up with some
kindred souls why not post a note asking for those interested to contact
giving your email & home town.   What you think? Tom Dotta ted...@gmail.com

I was fortunate to live six half years in New Zealand and can vouch for the
beer
My concerned friends always reminded me to take my magnetic soled shoes so
I wouldn't fall up.

Also found that transformers work both up voltage and down voltage. The
50Hz only slows the RPM
However at least in New Zealand the 240V is all on one wire not 2 110V
wires.
My experience is low amperage only,  sewing machines and electronic
gadgets.Cheers   Tom

Hi Mike

The whole project is quite professional and you are correct the gem for
most of us is the dry clamp friction spot. Is the inside circle just
bandsawn or is it  lathe finished? Either way the evident uniformity is a

Hi Gang I've just watched Mike Pung's U tube on crank handle indexing
which was very good but it ended before what I really wanted to see which
is the method of joining the multiple parts. I'm assuming they are doweled
but am interested in how to maintain the necessary accuracy? I love the
look with flutes or reeds dead ending into a rising feature and I'm hoping
there is a rapid, accurate and simple method of accomplishing the joining.
All suggestions appreciated.  Cheers   Tom Dotta

HI MIke   Thanks for the prompt response.   If I understand correctly you
cut the reeded part three inches long and then route a one & one half dowel
on each end. Sounds like you end up with  press fit, does that present any
problem with gluing? Re reading your response I see the extra one eighth
inch of depth which would accept any excess glue.Cheers and thanks

 Hello Joe, (and everyone else out there.) ;-)

 Good suggestion about the Y axis Linear slide idea, I've done that, and
 Like you suggest it really improves the ability for template following. And
 along with the template following idea, A spindle motor
 greatly improved the template/follower cutting ability's as well.
 Ive been working on a few new idea along those lines my self lately.
 Hopefully I will get the time in the shop, to finish soon? but it just
 hasnt been in the cards, lately for me. Between my work load at
 the hospital and family commitments, My free time, just isnt as free as it
 use to be. Hopefully that will change very soon. after all the summer is
 now almost over,and the fall normally is the time I get the most things
 done in the shop. But we will see, when the kids go back to school?


 Im going to hit the hay now.

 hey curtis!...and everyone else, of course...i'll offer some
 comments,suggestions and observations from my experience working with the
 legacy mill...in no specific order...to begin, there is no better machine
 ever made to do this type of work, that's a fact!...we all just have to
 deal with the issue that, what is out there, is it(much like a
 holtzapffel ornamental lathe)...and that goes for the availability of parts
 as well...is legacy to blame for this decision?...from a business sense, i
 would think not...if legacy decided to make the Z axis upgrade/accessory
 tomorrow, i wonder how many would buy one...my guess, not enough to justify
 a production run...so we just have to deal with that issue, buckle up and
 move forward...and yes, there are thousands of machines still out there but
 only a handful of people who have a need for parts...most machines are
 probably sitting in a corner getting little to no use...have seen so many
 times an ad that would say used only once' or hardly used...my point in
 mentioning this is that there really is not a great demand for parts(other
 than a small number in this group) and that does not make it profitable for
 legacy to make and stock parts...i might guess that they could not break
 even on that aspect of business if they ever did make and stock parts...in
 regards to the rails used by legacy, my guess as to why they chose to have
 the profile custom made, was to accommodate the black top hats...and since
 all other parts(bed risers,head and tail stocks, etc.,etc.) were made to
 fit that rail, it would be extremely problematic to switch to another rail
 design...time and cost prohibitive in my opinion...but then again, for what
 purpose would you need additional rail?(i know, coming from me that is a
 strange statement!)...for example,if you wanted to extend a machine, i
 would think joining two machines together would be the way to go since
 additional rail is not available...and you would still need additional bed
 support legs and cross bed supports anyway...so the second donor machine
 seems to way to go...in my opinion, about the only place you would need
 some railing, would be if you decided to widen your carriage, which i think
 is a necessary mod all should do...it is quick, easy and has many
 benefits...and the railing needed to do it can be gotten by eliminating the
 legs(assuming you have the leg kit on your machine, of course)...if the
 carriage is widened, you can now consider rotating your router, even going
 as far as 90 degrees, to do face plate, decorative cuts...big plus to the
 capability of the legacy...now, if you eliminate the legs, you need a new
 base, which is the next mod i would suggest, is a must...a strong, plywood
 box structure would not let the machine flex or rack at all, but would
 still allow mobility to move the machine around on casters as needed...next
 up is adding linear slides...so far the slides i have added to my modified
 machine(s) is working out well...no dust issues clogging the carriages to
 date...but then again, i do not use my machine to do general turning
 work...simply fluting and reeding, both straight and spiral, which i refer
 to as kiss cuts...so there is never a tremendous amount of sawdust
 produced...but the linear rails and bearing carriages i used from PBC, are
 working out well, were the least expensive that i had found(new, not used),
 had adjustments built into the bearings should wear ever be a

 It's really hard to get images of Legacy machines when they are behind on
 updating their website.  I found this article in a UK newsletter and
 extracted the page.  Notice the stand and the optional joinery
 attachment.   In the article it mentions the 50 model, that's also not
 news to me, but could be for others.  Also take note of the donation at the

Re: a 1200 at an incredible price

2015-08-14 Thread Tom Dotta
HI JoeThe 900 is a bench top model and the only way to change the
height of either the headstock or the tailstock ends is to loosen the allen
screws and lever the particular end to the desired elevation and reset the
screws. A rather clumsy procedure especially in a cramped space. The
factory stand has a hand wheel on an acme thread shaft underneath each end
so you don't have to 'levitate' the head or tailstock while tightening the
screws, much much easier. I know you know all of this and it's just my
particular choice of phrasing that caused the question.Cheers  Tom

Re: a 1200 at an incredible price

2015-08-13 Thread Tom Dotta
Hi Joe Thank you for posting the information regarding the 1200 in
Redding Calif. It does indeed have the factory motor drive and the Z axis
upgrade as well as the factory stand with the acme screw taper adjustment
and now resides in my shop in Hollister Calif. Quite an improvement over my
900 bench model that I was seeking information in order to motorize it.
Even though my 900 has the Z axis upgrade the motor drive is the 'real
deal'  Thanks to all that offered information as to the necessary parts for
the upgrade, fortunately I hadn't ordered any of the parts.
Thanks again Joe and also for your many informative posts, keep it up
please.Tom Dotta.

Display Cabinet

HI Curtis  Mac

Thanks Guys for the compliments as well as the helpful comments. The wood
used is 'sinker cypress' brought to Calif. by a friend in New Orleans that
used to raise Alligators. Might interest someone that all of the glass as
well as the 'self closing' drawer hardware is available off the shelf from
Ikea., cabinet built to fit  I have attended many symposiums, both AAW  OTI
so most of the work displayed in the cabinet is from demonstrator friends
around the world. Way better than my stuff. If anyone is interested in
ornamental work I'll post some as well as an ornamental machine that a New
Zealand friend made from scratch, awesome!
Being a lazy intermittent hobbyist I use tink tink cans almost exclusively,
sanding sealer  Lacquer.

 Hello and Good morning Bill

 I will be honest with you, the 1/4  pitch (a custom made gear that I had
 made a while back...) was suppose to be a single start, I figured that it
 would be faster... but after the first cut it looked wrong for what I
 wanted (It was to thread like,close and I just did not like the look.), so
 I decided to try making a second start just off the first one, perhaps it
 would make it look more open?( though to my self.) Well It worked. All
 that I did was to set the router back into the grove it made on the first
 pass, and then move the carriage up one thread on the acme lead screw.

 Hello Everyone.

 With all this pen turning stuff  (topic's) that we have been taking about
 last week, got me thinking, why not do something a little different along
 the pen turning lines.

 Well here it is!Something a bit different.  ;-)

 A roped wooden handle for a jig that I am making.

 The handle is 3/4 thick, Brazilian cherry . with a 3/8 steel shaft
 running through the wood,

 I used my 1/2 pen roping bit to make the wooden handle part, I used a 2
 stat rope with a 1/4 pitch.



 I know this is not a big project, but after working a 10 hour day, at
 work,I needed to get out in the shop and escape form reality for at least a
 short time.and un-wind.

 I though it turned out well. and wanted to share with all of you.

 If anyone what's to know more, Please feel free to ask.

Hi Tim  All

I really like Tim's suggestion about a volunteer registry and wish to be
included if it happens. I'm in the central coast of Calif. born  bred but
for six years we lived six months here and six months in New zealand's
South Island. While there I had half of a two car garage shop including a
Jet mini lathe as well as an older steel rail Legacy. The Jet ran thru a
step down transformer rescued from a TV. For the Legacy I bought a Triton
router there.  Incidental the same transformer is now running the sewing
machines my wife brought home to Calif. The household power there is 240V
50hz on one hot lead, they have no 110V system. My limited understanding of
50hz vrs our 60hz is only a reduction in rpm.

 And here is a bit more info on the subject if your interested
 http://www.2pass.co.uk/goodluck.htm#.VOw8mPmsV8E and if your not then
 store it away with your CNC machines for when they become obsolete!


  *Do we drive on the Left ?*


 About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do
 are mostly old British colonies.
 [image: 2pass]*Japan * http://www.2pass.co.uk/japan.htmalso drive on
 the left.

 This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; however, there is a
 perfectly good http://www.2pass.co.uk/goodluck.htmreason.

 Up to the late 1700's, everybody travelled on the left side of the road
 because it's the sensible option for feudal, violent societies of mostly
 right-handed people.

 Jousting knights with their lances under their right arm naturally passed
 on each other's right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked
 on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself
 and him.

 Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part
 http://www.2pass.co.uk/goodluck.htm of its sweeping social rethink. A
 change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason
 it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to
 march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any
 opponent.

 From then on, any part of the world which was at some time part of the
 British Empire was thus left hand and any part colonised by the French was
 right hand.

 In America, the French colonised the southern states (Louisiana for
 instance) and the Canadian east coast (Quebec). The Dutch colonised New
 York (or New Amsterdam).
 The Spanish and Portugese colonised the southern Americas. So The British
 were a minority in shaping the 'traffic'.

 The drive-on-the-right policy was adopted by the USA, which was anxious to
 cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past.

 Once America drove on the right, left-side driving was ultimately doomed.
 If you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American, for a period
 they only manufactured right-hand-drive cars.

 From then on many countries changed out of necessity.

 Today, the EC would like Britain to fall into line
 http://www.2pass.co.uk/goodluck.htm with the rest of Europe, but this
 is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change
 everything round.

 The last European country to convert to driving on the right was Sweden in
 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more
 attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of
 road accident casualties.

 Since September 2009 Samoa drives on the left instead of the right.
 The main reason for this is that they want to use right-hand-drive cars,
 for instance from Japan and New Zealand, which both drive on the left.

 Countries that drive on the *LEFT *include:-

Anguilla
 Antigua  Barbuda
 Australia
 Bahamas
 Bangladesh
 Barbados
 Bermuda
 Bhutan
 Botswana
 British Virgin Islands
 Brunei
 Cayman Islands

 Channel Islands
 Cyprus
 Dominica
 Eire-Ireland
 England
 Falkland Islands
 Fiji
 Grenada
 Guyana
 Hong Kong
 India
 Indonesia
 Isle of Man

Neat machine, nice cleanup and mod. Are the center and right spindles in

have to move toward each other and away from each other in order to stay in

 machine that can do the same type of work...but that line is intended for
 the occasional user...the 10 represents the largest diameter of a piece
 that will fit the machine(they also made machines for larger
 diameters)...the 2 is for the number of pieces that can be worked on at any
 one time(they made machines in upwards of 24 spindles)...the R is
 interesting and the reason i bought this machine( i really wanted a 4
 spindle machine)...it stands for reversing which means you can have a
 carving that has a specific direction to it( like a face looking to the
 right,for example) and from a right hand carving model, you can carve a
 right and a left(the same face but looking to the left), all at the same
 time...a nice time saving feature when making chairs, for example, that
 have different shaped arms or rear legs...this machine can handle work
 pieces 48 long(machines capable of longer pieces were available...perhaps
 a future mod for my machine!...lol!)...the pieces used to do the reversing
 are in the fourth photo...you can remove the reversers and simply do
 straight forward carvings...in the third photo your model would be mounted
 to the left, and the rough-sized wood blanks would be to the right of the
 model...they mount between centers, much like we mount work on the legacy
 or a typical lathe...there is also a set up to do flat panel work, where
 the work pieces are clamped down onto a flat table...there are left and
 right cutters with a corresponding, shaped follower bit in various shapes
 and sizes, all the way down to a pencil point bit for fine detailed
 carving...the cutters spinning left and right are set up so their forces
 will counter each other and provide for a smooth operation of the head that
 rolls front to back...the second photo shows a mod i did to rotate the
 model and work pieces in unison when cutting all around a work piece...this
 was previously done with a crank handle but the manufacturer did offer an
 upgrade to a motorized set up...the last photo shows a caster and leveling
 system we set up to give the machine some mobility and the ability to
 easily level it, which is a must...the overall footprint of the piece is
 approx. 5ft.X 5ftjust about done setting up this piece and will the get
 back to the legacy...hopefully...any questions, fire away!...joe

 my job is to see that they are built to the approved plans; they are

 okay, being the pessimist that i am, here goes...a few observations, in no
 particular order...1) this seems to be a beam that is to be used in exposed
 wood construction. i would think it would not pass our building codes. but
 we do not know the length of the beam, so can't say for sure 2) is it
 practical to do this type of joinery, when thinking of a building budget? i
 would think a lot of us could do this joint after seeing this video, but
 exactly how much time does it take to complete it? i am in a business where
 i have seen people spend ridiculously large amounts of money on making
 things, but even so, every job has a balance between artistry and budget.
 but i will assume this temple's construction budget warrants this type of
 intense labor 3)regarding that driven-in wedge. the grain of the wood seems
 to run the length of the wedge. question-if the wedge should shrink over
 time, would that compromise the joint? since the tightness of the wedge is
 what keeps everything tightly together. not saying that the joint would
 ever separate,obviously, but still, would the beam ever sag just a bit,
 because of wood shrinkage? even the small tab at the end of the joint, if
 it shrinks, could cause a bit of sagging, perhaps...personally, i would go
 with laminated, solid wood(not the strand stuff) beams with decorative
 iron joist hangers and/or brackets and braces...when it comes to a roof
 over my head, i'll go with strength (with small bit of artistry) over pure
 artistry every time...but i do find it interesting...thanks for the post

 Thanks for sharing the link - I hadn't seen it.
 That's what you call precision joinery on a MASSIVE scale!  I am
 impressed at how well it all seems to fit together so tightly.  Appears the
 only metal/steel used in the construction of the temple is in the blades
 used to make the cuts - NOT in screws  bolts.  Amazing!
 I can't help but wonder - this method of construction must be more
 seismically compatible - vs using bolts/screws.  What do you think?
 I shudder at thinking what this would cost to do in North America.  It
 would probably never pass code either.
 Any bets that Joe B. in NYC is already figuring out how to make these in

Unless your spindles are longer than 15 1/2 a conventional Jet mini lathe
will do what you want easier, faster and much cheaper than either Legacy.
Before anyone starts screaming let me say I own two Legacys, a 900 with the

Reeding, Fluting and spiral work are most definitely Legacy work without
question.

 Hello everyone.

 Dave I agree with Roger, With only one execution, I would say buy what you
 can afford.
 I bought a model 1000 ex. and at the time I said that I was buying what I
 needed, My wife told me ,to buy what I wanted. (at that time we could
 afford the larger machine but I said it was to expensive.) Today I wish I
 had done what she/my wife told me to do. The 1000 is a good machine (the
 1200 was made to replace the 1000) but I find a lot of the time that I wish
 that I had more room, for longer and bigger projects.
 I guess it really depends on what kind of things you like to make? If pens
 and small idioms are more you stile than go with a smaller machine, But for
 me bigger is almost always better.

 Now onto your second question, what if ??? That what this group is all
 about. Its hard to plan for every what if? but chances are most (or perhaps
 better said, Lots) of Legacy users have already experience problems with
 there machines or projects over a life time of use. So with over 300 people
 out there in our group, chances are someone has already dealt with a
 problem that you are/will experiencing.. So when you run into a problem
 just type up a message and see how many reply's that you get. When there is
 a will, there is always a way. There is nothing that cant be built or made
 to get the job done.(at least that's how I see it.) :-)


 Have a good day.

 Welcome Dave and may you find what you want.

 As someone who has sold a lot of Legacy manual machines in the UK, Europe
 and around the world my response is buy the biggest and best you can
 afford. The Model 900 is a great product but for my money the Model 1200 is
 slightly more robust in the frame build and the adjustment of the height of
 the headstock and tail stock is superior on the Model 1200. But if I had to
 make a choice between a Model 900 with Z Axis up-grade versus Model 1200
 standard then I would go for the Model 900.

 The things you want to do can be done on both machines, the Model 1200 has
 the benefit of additional space between centres and about an inch or so
 more on diameter.

 I have sold well past 100 manual machines and I can honestly say spares
 never came up as an issue or even a need. Now I know someone will disagree
 but I speak as I have found.

 Euro Roger

 Hi,

 I'm new to the group and looking to buy a legacy mill, I see the 900s and
 1200s for sales from time to time and was wondering which model is
 recommended.

 Some of the things I'm looking to do with it.

 1. Turn spindles
 2. Turn bowls
 3. Make doll furniture (so I'd want to make small chair legs or table legs)
 4. Turn writing pens

 I'd also like to know what the group does when a machine breaks.

 How/Where do you get spare parts?

 What should I look for or avoid when buying one of these used?

 Thanks
 -David

 Yes, I own a Delta Lathe too.  Oddly enough, I bought my legacy first.
 Years later, there was an estate sale in my neighborhood, and I saw tools
 as I drove by.  Needless to say, I left the estate sale with a large Delta
 lathe, a 16 Laguna bandsaw ( I already own a Rockwell 14), a Jet dist
 collector (my 2nd one of these), a Powermatic oscillating spindle
 sander,  a couple of motors and and various other stuff in a couple of
 boxes.

Re: Creating spirals on the rotary table

2012-07-27 Thread Tom Dotta
Hi Tim
First time poster but I've enjoyed reading all of the posts since being
allow to and thank you for that. The Ornamental turners frequently
substitute a pen for the cutter and a paper holder in place of the
 material..Provides an accurate, cheep look. I realize ornamental lathes
are more accurate than a legacy so maybe substitute a lite cardboard for
the paper and find a proper sized pen to fit the router chuck.
Cheers   Tom Dotta

 Hello All,

 I had a crazy idea that a continues single start spiral can be made on the
 rotary table. The goal is to get the pitch right on the x-axis.  I started
 looking into the geometry required with a 1/2 cove bit.  It looks like a
 spacing of .375 would do the job.  In other words, the x-axis would move
 3/8 with each rotation of the rotary table.   I think this would create a
 spiral pattern but I'm not sure.  Maybe the pitch needs to decrease as it
 get closer to the center?

 Then I started to consider the problem a little further.  It's not quite
 that easy.  You see, the problem is my pitch is right, but I did not take
 into consideration the spindle turns 8 times to make the rotary table turn
 once.  So, I really need to take that .375 pitch and divide it by 8.  The
 new pitch number that I need is actually .046.  That way the x axis
 travels the .375 per rotation of the rotary table ( 8 x .046 = .375 ).

 Now, I can think of two ways to get the pitch so that's not my concern.
 The real concern is if I've come up with the right pitch in the first place
 and if a fixed width would even work.

 Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 -Tim
