New details, The model 1000 the y axis leadscrew was an option.  It came without a split nut.  It was a block of delrin tapped for the acme thread.  If you wanted to move the y axis freely you would remove one screws and that would set it free.  The split nut was yet another option that made

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

They where uhmw, and they have slotted mounting holes in the carriage. Also notice that there is no mechanism to keep the carriage held to the rails. It just lifts up. That's all I know about this subject. -Tim PS, Credit to Mike Pung for allowing me to take photos of his carriage. On

Confused, that looks like a split nut like a Woodchuck version... -Tim On 8/1/2017 5:44 AM, 'joe biunno' via Legacy Ornamental Mills wrote: here is a photo of the split nut used on the lead screw...a bit odd as it hinges open and closed...certainly very difficult to replace when it becomes

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

Joe, Can you take a photo of the torn up split nut. I'm curious about something. -Tim On 8/1/2017 7:50 AM, 'joe biunno' via Legacy Ornamental Mills wrote: well, the legacy gods smiled upon me today!...that hinged, split nut was a mess...the bracket was poorly made by a previous owner and

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

Hi Joe, Yes that is a model 1500 in theory.  Essentially a model 1500 is the same as a model 1000 except for it came with all the options.  It was built pre 1998.  The gears that you are seeing are the same as all of the modern aluminum rail model 1000.  They are fine pitch so the main gear of

Re: Wiring diagram

Well I knew my generic answer was not going to be enough.  I'm not aware of a wiring diagram for the legacy drive system.  It was all pre-wired and the manuals only showed where to and how to mount the components to the machine. Since you are familiar with electronic, I'm not sure where you

RE: Wiring diagram

I considered doing one for the legacy, but I decided it was not worth doing since the speed control legacy used is no longer available and difficult to find. Plus the stock system makes it very difficult for wires to just get disconnected that there is very little chances of making a mistake

Re: Wiring diagram

Where are you stuck?  What kind of motor are you using?  In general terms a speed control includes a transformer to drop your house voltage to run the motor.  Legacy then used a limit switch to break the connection to the motor.  They added an override switch to close the limit switch

That was the original idea for making plates. -Tim ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​ On Jun 28, 2017, 3:35 PM, at 3:35 PM, Bill Bulkeley wrote: >Pendulum router i love it . you could use it with the rotary table as >well for some really great patterns. > >Lots and lots of potential
