| Here are some pics of the candlesticks I made. They are 10" tall with a 3" diam. base. They feature a 3"pitch 2 start barley twist one is lefthand spiral and the other is righthanded Think they really came out nice. |
| The grain of the lacewood does really well when making spirals |
| In this picture you can see how the indexin feature allows you to do some neat scalloping |

| DIGITAL READOUT |
| Here is an cheap mod that will increase the functionality of your Leagacy Ornamental Mill. For about $25 I was able to add this Digital caliper to measure cut depth |
| The upper and lower mounting block are made of UHMW plastic. It was milled out to fit the caliper using the Legacy freehand and following a scribe line of the calipers shape. It took about 1 hour to figure out and make. Below you can see how I mounted the block. I drilled a 5/16" hole in the cast portion of the handle and the block. I used shims made of tape and a 5/16" bolt to hold it all together. The shims allowed me to plumb the caliper shaft to the router guide post. |
| The lower mount is also made of UHMW plastic and is simply screwed to the aluminum plate from below with smallmachine screws This was an easy project and once I add a router raiser. It will be more precise than ever |
