Linear rail or not?

Hi guys,I am wanting some advise.Would someone be willing to start a new thread explaining the do’s and don’ts of putting linear rails and bearings to support the router carriage on both the x and y axis?I know the general gist but am having trouble visualizing how the router is going to work

Re: Spindle drive

Yes - and you are already doing that.  LoL! A second approach - if you couldn't or didn't want to make a longer Y-axis would be to just do it on the Y-axis - while putting the linear rails on top of the X-axis rails.  This second way would cut your loss of depth of throw in half. Keep us posted

Curt agreed to start a separate post for this discussion so you'll hear from him tonight later. Kind Regards, Timothy J. Ziegler Ziegler WoodWork & Specialty 14171 160th Ave. Foreston MN 56330 320-294-5798 shop 320-630-2243 cell On Tue, Nov 30, 2021 at 5:39 PM Jeff Richmond wrote: > Thanks

Re: New member introduction

thanks Jeff, at least I don't feel so alone. So these finds maybe we could look at splitting up the machine between the two of us. I have several needs so if you want to message me seperate and send me the links I'd take a look. I'm building a Hybrid and it requires many items on the lom X 2

Nice find just the same Denson, and great hearing from you. Please join in on the coming discussion on Sanding on the LOM too. I think that needs a post in it's self though. Kind Regards, Timothy J. Ziegler Ziegler WoodWork & Specialty 14171 160th Ave. Foreston MN 56330 320-294-5798 shop

Re: Spindle drive

Appears a concern is the sacrificing of depth of throw in the Z-axis.   Thinking a little outside of the box (Mill):  How about mounting a piece of aluminum 90º angle stock to the outer faces of the X-axis and Y-axis rails - with one face of the 90º stock against the rail extrusion and the other

Thanks for asking this Denson, I also have a 900 model and would be very interested in understanding this “upgrade” better. Jeff from Connecticut > On Nov 30, 2021, at 6:23 PM, 'Denson Ingram' via Legacy Ornamental Mills > wrote: > > Hi guys, > I am wanting some advise. > Would someone be

Re: New member introduction

Hi Tim, I did reach out to Curt on the rotary table. Hopefully that will work out. I have seen a couple of other ( longer than my 900 )legacy machines for sale on Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace with accessories including one with a rotary table (a 1000EX for $875 and a 1500EX for $1200 )

Well close up pics or video might help but I'm not a video guy and all my video or picture helpers are either grown up and gone or in college but at least to see it can be done. Wish the LOM group would have made the plates interchangeable between models. then we would not have had to re-invent

Re: Spindle drive

Mac you made a great point. I was actually just talking to Mike Pung about that very subject. It would be great to have a recipe to the details for that process. Also just changing bearings. I changed mine out on my 1200 a few months ago and yes it went fine because of my past back ground, diy
