What I find the most time consuming with the threaded rod is running it through the Beall wood threader router jig by hand turning. It's around 30 minutes per 4 foot section to thread by hand; if the tolerance is a little tight on the rod, then it turns into a forearm endurance exercise. I'd love

How about making a carriage on wheels that will fit the Legacy. Have the jig, the router and carriage all move as one. Now install the dowel between centers and get it to start turning. With a slight pressure it will catch and start the threads. The guides in the jig will allow for

It's great to see you Carl, and I consider you a seasoned veteran of this group. You're no longer the new guy since you have posted messages in the past and shown some interesting projects. I've been a self supporting artist for more years than not, and I can tell you the craft shows are a

Tim, I think he wants a one start .20 pitch on a 1.5 dowel. I think this is quite possible with a reversing gear modification. If the size of the gears were offset one gear at 24 teeth and the other gear at 120 1:5 would be accomplished. Then a 1 inch standard gear pitch would become a .20

Well, I can say, at least for myself, I find the group interesting, but have lots of other things I do as a hobby. I did build a legacy like mill, with 20 inches between the rails, but haven't finished the indexing feature yet. I am a little reluctant to post pics until everything is all worked

Thanks for the tenon tip; I will absolutely try that the next time. Consistent slow feed rate that doesn't wobble gets the best results with the Beall jig. I made a couple wooden stools with threaded height adjustments and I'm so very pleased with the threaded rod strength. On Jul 4, 11:12 am,

Hi Ken I don't know about any one else but I would love to see pictures of a home made mill and projects from it as you can see from other posts here the basic legacy mill is just the start then we add heaps of modifications. when building your own you could incorporate them all in the one

Hi Ken I think the protective/aggressive side came out in a few members if I recall the thread you are talking about. I think certain members of the group object to people asking for exact plans of the Legacy equipment so they can make a copy. That's different from a question where someone is
