Re: Accurate setup

Yes, I'm much happier with the finish now. Tim, when I took the router carriage off, there was about 2 inches of loose felt on all ends. At the time I thought maybe sawdust had gotten between the felt and the bracket, so I cut off the loose felt. I have always had problems with binding when

Re: Accurate setup

Re: Accurate setup

my two cents...nine thousandths, .009, to me is an acceptable tolerance for a piece done on a legacy machine...there are times when we are cutting up some solids for a job and overnight I have seen a difference of thirty thousandths, .030 or 1/32",the next day...I have even gotten drawings from

Re: Accurate setup

Hello Jim. How small is the Error? and in what way?? do you mean that the cylinder/spindle tappers is some way form one side to the other? or there is tare out and the shape is not round? There is a small learning curve that needs to be understood when using the Legacy, ( Most people just
