subject:"Re\: New member"

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 because of
what I am doing to it.
So give that some thought. I have to head back out and run the laser for a
couple hours and glue
a door together for a customer so I'll be out for a while but sure would
like to find the parts.

I have a friend that actually restores really old stuff for equipment. I'
don't do a lot of old stuff, unless
it's' an old Oliver tractor lol

More in a bit.

Re: New member introduction

2021-11-30 Thread Jeff Richmond

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 ) but they didn’t want to part 
the accessories out separately and I don’t need another machine “yet”.

Regarding your legacy collection, I confess to the same addition though I stay 
more local and until this point, it has been focused on various other 
woodworking equipment. Possibly in the realm of “Tool Rescue, Restoration, and 
Adoption” since it is far more involved than just buying a new tool and I can 
never seem to part with them after. 路‍♂️

 Hello Everyone,

 I recently joined this group in late October as a fellow owner of a Legacy 
 Ornamental Mill with the hopes of learning more about this tool and its 
 capabilities. Thanks in advance to everyone for sharing offering your 
 experiences and helpful tips that a user group like this provides. 

 To add a little input to the recent group conversations

 Bone Turning, I have turned some deer antler pens upon request which were 
 well seasoned (dry) but there was a distinct smell like burnt skin / 
 fingernail during the process. They came out well but it is not a medium I 
 prefer to focus on.

 Lookout for used mills: I am always on the lookout for parts and 
 accessories for my mill as I am sure most of you are. I do not need 
 another (at least that what I have to keep telling myself) but in my 
 searching, I did bump into this one if anyone wants to expand their 
 capability. It is a little older but it appears to have a variety of gears 
 as well as the manuals and instructional videos ( including a VHS player )

Welcome to the group Jeff.  I'm with you on the smell of burnt   I 
don't like it at all.  Air exchange as well as a good filtered mask is a must.  
  The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made by the 
owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it with a 2 X 2 
That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn up in the big 
bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the Steely as we call 
them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add strength.  I still use my 
Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way of modifications when the 
center points are raised and not trapped between rails.  I have done 15 foot 
posts and table bases with a diameter of 25" All the way down to roping a tooth 
pick.  Welcome to the group that does not accept "limitations" Mike OK

thats what I explained too and added pics of my splice.

So is someone trying to reach out to Joe?
One of you guys that have been here since the beginning
should have his contact info? Does Curt.
At least you'd know all's well?

Re: New member introduction

 Wow! this topic has taken off. 
I've made a split nut for the Legacy before.  I own two taps 5/8x4 one is a 
home made ,( made out of a part of an old leadscrew). and the other is one that 
I found on E-bay a while back.The nut is not hard to make.
As far as Bills leadscrew, I personally did not think it would work. and I told 
him so. (He/Bill went a long way to prove me wrong!) ;-p ( Good for him. and as 
he said that was a long time ago.)
When I extended my Legacy, I just left the leadscrew the same, When and if I 
need, I can always just flip the part over and cut the remaining wood on the 
Flip-side. ;-pTo be serious, The only long jobs that I've done, I just needed 
the length to hold the part. the cuts were only done in the mid section and the 
ends were left square. And when I did my sail boat mast, (in the archives, a 
14' wooden mast.) I just used the carriage for the travel and did not use the 
screw at all.  I had a plan "B" (but never used it.) I have a 5/8" round stock, 
I planed to use it to bridge the gap difference , and just move the leadscrew 
when I needed.  My acme screw is held in place with couplings, all I planed to 
do, was slip the rod in between the couplings and add another to extend the 
screw.
So Jeff there is always more then one way to "skin a cat" so to speak. ;-)
Have a good night.talk to you and all tomorrow.

 Thanks Bill, I wouldn’t have considered it previously but I should be able

As a related question….Has anyone tried making or buying brass split nuts

Pros/cons?

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

  

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed

I remember the "catch" was that it was made and sold in something like 12'

That meant you had to find a source hat would cut it to the length you needed -

You might end up paying an extra "over-size" charge - on top of an already

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Thanks Tim, don’t go out of your way on my account. If you happen upon them, 
please send them over. 

 

I do have some short rails so support ideas to handle the extra length/weight 
are welcome.

 

 I am still on the fence on joining two lead screws or finding a longer 
continuous one verses flipping the work but I have some time before that spring

RE: New member introduction

I have considered it, brass would mean lubrication which could get messy but it 
would be doable. 

I think the idea was wear out the nut not the thread as that would be easier 
and cheaper to replace if I remember right.

Thanks Bill, I wouldn’t have considered it previously but I should be able make 
delrin replacements with this tool. I do not have metal milling capabilities 
but plastic drilling/tapping should be doable.

 

As a related question….Has anyone tried making or buying brass split nuts 
verses the delrin? 

 

Pros/cons?

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

 

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Re: New member introduction

Thanks Bill, I wouldn’t have considered it previously but I should be able make 
delrin replacements with this tool. I do not have metal milling capabilities 
but plastic drilling/tapping should be doable.

As a related question….Has anyone tried making or buying brass split nuts 
verses the delrin? 

Pros/cons?

RE: New member introduction

Put some sandpaper on it and have it travel and you could sand up a smooth 
piece lol

 

Sanding on the mill now there is another long talking subject drill or motor 
mounted sanding mops following the spiral using the gears lol

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made by the 
owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it with a 2 X 2 
That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn up in the big 
bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the Steely as we call 
them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add strength.  I still use my 
Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way of modifications when the 
center points are raised and not trapped between rails.  I have done 15 foot 
posts and table bases with a diameter of 25" All the way down to roping a tooth 
pick.

 When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you
 installing a longer one or joining them in some manner?

 Hello again Jeff

 Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take
 some slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and
 using some time of object to hold the end of your stock.
 I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live
 center.
 Then latter I extended my rails.
 Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

 When there is a will, there is Always a way! ;-)

 I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my
 stock 900) but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move
 around. I am not familiar with the previous generation models and their
 compatibility with the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what
 generation to call these since Legacy improved something it seemed almost

 The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made
 by the owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it
 with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn
 up in the big bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the
 Steely as we call them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add
 strength.  I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way
 of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped between
 rails.  I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a diameter of 25"
 All the way down to roping a tooth pick.  Welcome to the group that does
 not accept "limitations"

 Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will 
 take some slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the

 I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live

 Then latter I extended my rails.
 Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed

I do have some short rails so support ideas to handle the extra length/weight

RE: New member introduction

The taps are still out there 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174986834390?hash=item28be0731d6:g:zNUAAOSwGk5f4Z1a

 

Because your only tapping plastic or at worst brass these cheap Chinese taps 
will work

 

I think it would be possible to make leadscrew nuts for the legacy on the 
legacy 

I did that with the top hats but that is just my opinion

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They 
have taps and make their own. 

Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I asked 
Cindy from Legacy they 

where not making them but maybe things changed.

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

 I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my
 stock 900) but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move
 around. I am not familiar with the previous generation models and their
 compatibility with the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what
 generation to call these since Legacy improved something it seemed almost
 every year for a while and came out with yet another model / package to
 offer.

 The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made
 by the owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it
 with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn
 up in the big bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was the
 Steely as we call them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add
 strength.  I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way
 of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped between
 rails.  I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a diameter of 25"
 All the way down to roping a tooth pick.  Welcome to the group that does

Re: New member introduction

Curt or Bill may post to that comment about the acme nuts from Delrin. They
have taps and make their own.
Stay tuned someone will jump in. LOM was making them but the last time I
asked Cindy from Legacy they
where not making them but maybe things changed.

Re: New member introduction

OK I will dig a bit and come up with them.
I finished the job and took it down until the next time.
Just keep the rails and brackets handy for the next time and push the
machine back
to its home.
Like I said I flipped my parts.

RE: New member introduction

I understand I felt the same way welding would take a great deal of work to get 
a smooth joint

Mine I had lots of time to move and twist in place which I did inside the 
Delrin leadscrew nut

Then clamped thread in a pair of V-blocks then removed the leadscrew nut and 
let dry after 2 days a few light strokes with a file and the joint was just 
about perfect like I said its hard to even find

Wow, there is a good amount of surface area but that must be also some good 
epoxy. Thanks for sharing.

 

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped. 
(Should have gotten more spares)

Thanks for the input, Bill

 

So the join was not temporary, I assume you welded them together and smoothed 
the transition?

Interesting. 

 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Thanks for the background Mike and the warm welcome. I think I saw some snow

I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my stock 900) 
but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move around. I am 
not familiar with the previous generation models and their compatibility with 
the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what generation to call these 
since Legacy improved something it seemed almost every year for a while and 
came out with yet another model / package to offer.

Re: New member introduction

Wow, there is a good amount of surface area but that must be also some good 
epoxy. Thanks for sharing.

I do have some concerns over what join method to use and how smooth the 
transition is in this area since those delrin nuts are not as tough as I hoped. 
(Should have gotten more spares)

Re: New member introduction

To jump the hurdle of to short of acme I just flipped the part over and
only using the extension for the tail stock.
Pretty sure that's the only practical way to do it.

Re: New member introduction

Hey Jeff,
I actually made two angle iron brackets and used several  oval LOM
connectors
to attach the extra LOM rail and then supported the far end with a roller
stand modified
with a flat cross piece. It worked excellent and I did not have to put
holes in walls
like other's did lol.

I can try to find pix if you'd like???

Re: New member introduction

Interesting. 

When extending using rails, how is the acme screw addressed? Are you installing 
a longer one or joining them in some manner?

Re: New member introduction

 You guys, Make me want to go back and build another Legacy toy.  I'm thinking 
something small this time. Something like the Legacy model 200, but with 1000ex 
/ normal sized gears, and linear rail.  I've always liked the 200's floating Z 
axis. and I think the Y movement 1" on either side of 0, should do nicely.And 
Tim I will be using a 5/8" shaft and ball bearings on the headstock. and I have 
not yet figured out what I want to do with the tailstock, Yet...
I will start after Christmas.  (I need to save my money!) ;-)

I still think you should make your own head and tailstock For you Hybrid, Tim.

Use a 5/8 shaft, then all your Shop Smith adaptors will fit it. The 5/8" shaft 
is smaller so ball bearings and everything will work with in the framework you 
have.

I was just thinking, the tail stock, would not be that much harder to make,  
You could do as Joe did.  (That's one slick tailstock!)

No matter what I suggest. Just keep on going Tim. what you've done so far is 
Awesome! Keep up the good work.

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some

Bone Turning, I have turned some deer antler pens upon request which were well 
seasoned (dry) but there was a distinct smell like burnt skin / fingernail 
during the process. They came out well but it is not a medium I prefer to focus 
on.

 

Lookout for used mills: I am always on the lookout for parts and accessories 
for my mill as I am sure most of you are. I do not need another (at least that 
what I have to keep telling myself) but in my searching, I did bump into this 
one if anyone wants to expand their capability. It is a little older but it 
appears to have a variety of gears as well as the manuals and instructional

Re: New member introduction

Yeah exactly what I want. I wish that wood chuck was not so far away I'd
even settle for that.
Curts giving me a couple idea's too using the Shopsmith size will see where
it goes. Just know
its going to happen sooner then later lol.
I had to finally rob my drive off my 1500. I could not stand it no longer I
had to get a motor on it.

Hey Jeff

 

I think you will find a few Shop Smith users here in our group.

 

Legacy for some reason stopped making Legacy's with removeable tailstock 
adaptors.

The tailstock can be modified to hole a MT2 adaptor, but it will take some 
machining on a steel lathe to make it work. Here is a photo of mine.

What you see in the photos is a MT2 adaptor with a hole at the end, the 
DeStayCo clamp male adaptor is just held in place with a set screw. the plastic 
bushing and clamp are the only things that hold it in place.

 

Another approach is one of our members (Joe) bought a amazon tail stock. 
(something like this one ,  
https://www.amazon.com/Tailstock-Woodworking-Engraving-Milling-Machine/dp/B07RRG2YFK/ref=sr_1_38?crid=3DX2G6NS62BPF

=lathe+tailstock=1638151454=lathe+tail%2Caps%2C193=8-38 
 and re-worked his Legacy using it.)

A third (no name.) just made a live center and mounted it over the Legacy's 
dead center.

 

Or do as I did on my Pedal lathe. I ground down the dead center, and tapped it 
1/2 24(? fine threads) and mounted a Shop Smith live center on the threaded 
shaft.

 

When there is a will, There is Always a way!

 

Have a good night.

Thanks again Curt, yes that makes sense and is pretty creative use of a hole in 
the garage wall. Lol

 

Even with my limited use, a live center is definitely an upgrade I see a need 
for on the Legacy. I will have to check compatibility with the shopsmith I 
have. I use that as a lathe from time to time but mainly just pens.

 

I definitely wish I had joined this group moons ago.

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

I cant wait to see it when its done! looks Great!!! I still think you should
make your own head and tailstock For you Hybrid, Tim.Use a 5/8 shaft, then all
your Shop Smith adaptors will fit it. The 5/8" shaft is smaller so ball
bearings and everything will work with in the framework you have.I was just
thinking, the tail stock, would not be that much harder to make, You could do
as Joe did. (That's one slick tailstock!)No matter what I suggest. Just keep

Re: New member introduction

Hey Stranger great to here from you Mike.

Speaking of the Wood Chuck I was playing on mine today.
Yes as I looked there are some things about it I really like and now super
glad
I keep it. I found another only 10 miles from me but not sure if he's
willing to
part with it. Drive and all just like mine.
I'll add a couple pix later

Re: New member introduction

Thanks Jeff,

Yes I had to search for a rotary table too and found one on the Router
Forum I belong too.
However trying to get any response on there is like pulling teeth. Like
Curt says "Crickets"
I'd have to check the miles on that one. Wow.
But I sent my kids all the way to Texas for my first LOM, my Wood Chuck was
in my back door.
then Wisconsin for one, and finally South Dakota for the last one nice 1200
that I'm making into
a REVO HYBRID. I'll be posting more on that here in a while.  Its a shorten
up 1200 but will have
2 different area's to turn. In front like the Revo and in the middle like
the basic LOM's are.
I put a drive on it today so its a work in progress. I had to rob peter to
pay paul on that one.
So enough on me and my bad habits lol.
We are looking forward to your progress and if I recall someone out there
does have a rotary table for sale.

Hey Jeff

 

I think you will find a few Shop Smith users here in our group.

 

Legacy for some reason stopped making Legacy's with removeable tailstock 
adaptors.

The tailstock can be modified to hole a MT2 adaptor, but it will take some 
machining on a steel lathe to make it work. Here is a photo of mine.

What you see in the photos is a MT2 adaptor with a hole at the end, the 
DeStayCo clamp male adaptor is just held in place with a set screw. the plastic 
bushing and clamp are the only things that hold it in place.

 

Another approach is one of our members (Joe) bought a amazon tail stock. 
(something like this one ,  
https://www.amazon.com/Tailstock-Woodworking-Engraving-Milling-Machine/dp/B07RRG2YFK/ref=sr_1_38?crid=3DX2G6NS62BPF

=lathe+tailstock=1638151454=lathe+tail%2Caps%2C193=8-38 
 and re-worked his Legacy using it.)

A third (no name.) just made a live center and mounted it over the Legacy's 
dead center.

 

Or do as I did on my Pedal lathe. I ground down the dead center, and tapped it 
1/2 24(? fine threads) and mounted a Shop Smith live center on the threaded 
shaft.

 

When there is a will, There is Always a way!

 

Have a good night.

Thanks again Curt, yes that makes sense and is pretty creative use of a hole in

Even with my limited use, a live center is definitely an upgrade I see a need 
for on the Legacy. I will have to check compatibility with the shopsmith I 
have. I use that as a lathe from time to time but mainly just pens.

 

I definitely wish I had joined this group moons ago.

Hello again Jeff

 

Your 900 can turn a 8' post if you only turn 4' at a time. It will take some 
slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some 
time of object to hold the end of your stock. 

I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center.

Then latter I extended my rails.

Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck.

Also if you hold the work in a chuck and the other end in a steady rest you can 
do it all in just the mill . do half then end for end and do the second half

but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move around. I am 
not familiar with the previous generation models and their compatibility with 
the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what generation to call these 
since Legacy improved something it seemed almost every year for a while and 
came out with yet another model / package to offer.

Welcome to the group Jeff.  I'm with you on the smell of burnt 
  I don't like it at all.  Air exchange as well as a good 
filtered mask is a must.


The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made 
by the owner.  He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced 
it with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would 
turn up in the big bladed cuts.  The next model after the wood chuck was 
the Steely as we call them.  They used square galvanized tubes to add 
strength.  I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the 
way of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped 
between rails.  I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a 
diameter of 25" All the way down to roping a tooth pick.  Welcome to the

Re: New member introduction

Hi Curt, 

My 900 is a manual model with the hand crank. It did pretty well for me on 
candlesticks and canes gifts back then but I am hoping to expand my project 
range. I haven't performed any modifications to the machine yet but may 
consider it.

The links you provided will be very helpful. I haven’t used the machine in 
quite a while so I have been going over my old information and also found a few 
YouTube videos. I can’t watch my old Legacy VHS tapes right now, it seems that 
the player was packed away a little too good when I moved a couple years ago. 

Thanks again.

Re: New member introduction

Thanks for the links Curt, I will have to check those out. 

I have a 900 manual model which I purchased back in the early /mid 2000’s after 
seeing it demo at a woodworking show and used it for a few small projects / 
gifts. With the cost and it only being a hobby with a young family at the time, 
I have only a few accessories but still never really stretched the machines 
capabilities with my early efforts. Figured it was finally time to dust it off 
and make chips fly again.
