Re: 15 Foot Legacy Mill for 6K with a $2.5K Columbo Spindle

i have a 1800, and did a 5 foot 4 inch long and 8 inch diameter hollow column one time, it sagged so i built a mid roller support for it, it worked ok but you had to go real slow, wood sags alot it would need a middle support to do a good piece of work, i do 8 foot x 8 inch diameter solumns now

Re: 15 Foot Legacy Mill for 6K with a $2.5K Columbo Spindle

you, the issue comes from the wood, not the strength of the machine. If that is the case, would gluing an octagon at the halfway point work to keep the wood from sagging? I have a model 900, so I've never encountered this problem. Begat On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 12:20 AM, james edgell jdm

Re: Interesting Turning Club Article on Legacy Machine

i make a variety of things, sometimes the legacy is my prefered tool, sometimes even though it may do the job i use another tool because it will do the job as well as or better than the legacy for me, i guess it depends on the person, i like learning new things so i am always open to suggestions.
