Re: Cutting Reeds on a Tapered Spindle

Thanks for the info. I considered using a template, but that raised another question. Is there a reliable method for setting up the straight edge to ensure it is perfectly parallel to the spindle? My initial thought would be to rest the bearing against the side of the spindle, then place the

Re: Cutting Reeds on a Tapered Spindle

I think all you need is a spacer or set up block to make parallel to the x axis. Just set it between the template and the rail. On Jan 24, 2013 12:54 PM, Brandon Khoury blkhou...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the info. I considered using a template, but that raised another question. Is there a

Re: Cutting Reeds on a Tapered Spindle

Hello Brandon I cant wait to see what you come up with. As far as using the template and setting it up, I would do it the way you describe.I dont see any problems with that set up. Good luck on your project, take a lot of pictures! Have a good day. C.A.G. - Original Message -

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

OK guys, here's the plans for our on-line meeting with Legacy. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 5th at 4:00 PM Mountain time. Andy, Tracy and John will attend from Legacy. Because of their travel for the Woodworking shows, this was the only option to get time with them. I think that

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

Crap! Sorry guys, I won't be able to attend at that time. I have a conference that week and will still be in a class at that time. I don't remember if a format was mentioned, but it is possible to record and upload the session for later viewing? I believe Go-to-Meeting will allow you to do

Re: Tail stock connection

Well, I was able to get into the shop last night and work on the tail stock issue (also took the opportunity to fix my twisting elevator problem too). First, I found that the head stock was loose, not sure why, but lucky that didn't create its own problem. Second, I found that both plates at

Re: Cutting Reeds on a Tapered Spindle

Reeds on a tapered spindle... Way to much overthinking going on so I thought I would pipe up and tell you how Tracy taught me to reed tapered parts. After the spindle is tapered: 1- re-level the bed (once the bed is level the center plane is now level with the bed. the top is now tapered but that

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

One suggestion I have for anyone planning on asking any questions would be to send the question in to legacy so they have time to prepare and get you the best answer, not just the fast answer. Another suggestion would be for the group to get the questions together and then all of them get

Re: Tail stock connection

Hello Brandon (And everyone.) One more thing you should think of before you put your unit back together. The vibration of the machine can loosen the bolts up,(which you already found out.) I would suggest to you, to put a drop of lock-tight on the threads of the bolts/screws.(Blue is

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

Hello All, This is a good first move, and I understand that Legacy wants to talk most about what it's offering now--the Evolution and the CNC machines. Given that only 20 minutes will be available to talk about older machines, we should try to reach some consensus on the issues relating to them.

Re: Cutting Reeds on a Tapered Spindle

Thank you John You still have to be careful using this method as well on contoured shapes, If you set your stops on the high side of a tapered spindle you will loose contact with the wood at the low spot, and if you set your stop to the low spot, and are not using a bearing, you will cut to

Re: Discussion session with Legacy

One point to pursue/ask in the session is: "What parts, component assemblies, and accessories do the Evolution and our (legacy) manual mills share/have in common." (Even talking nuts, bolts, and bearings here.)I want to know what parts accessories on/for the Evo will work on my LOM
