"Crazy" homemade router spiral cutting jig for turning wooden spirals, or barley twists on the lathe. This is part 1 of 2, where I run through how it works.
See part 2 to watch some test cuts: • Cutting Wooden Spirals...

Alex, you are clever. As always I'm so impressed with site. I know young people like you will make our world a better place to live. Thank you for sharing your time and skills.

@MRrwmac 9 лет назад

Excellent innovative engineering! I remember back when you built and were using the duplicator. Using it this way is just genius!

@AllenBrosowsky 8 лет назад

I was thinking that if you played around with the gear ratios and size of the timing belt pulleys you could get quite detailed in your carvings. Then I realised you probably already did that and just left those details out of the video so you didn't bore the audience. That idea is now stuck in my head because this idea is brilliant.

@matthewjohnson7933 9 лет назад

That is so cool! That's gonna make some interesting cuts! Cant wait to see part two. Great work man!

@Perspectologist 9 лет назад

Wow! That is very impressive looking. I'm looking forward to the next video.

Beautiful video, Alex. Since you've had what "tinker" to quite nicely. Then press of thumb that your "machine" to work. Looking forward to part 2: -D

@malcolmoxley1274 9 лет назад

well done,as a true yorkshireman i never throw anything away so as a result i usually end up with loads of bearings,gears etc all from old washing machines,micro waves etc,they are a great source of reusables,just thought i would pass on the info,keep the projects coming regards malc.

I wish i could do something like this..! How nice it is to dream. Top$

@drferry 2 года назад

You are to be congratulated for your skills in making all of this work! It's too bad, however that Legacy opted several years ago to quit making their manually-driven Legacy mills and go to only CNC rigs. I have an old Revo which cost me about $900 15 years ago and turns every kind of spiral you can imagine with pitches from 1/2" to 15" on stock up to three feet long. You can still find the old Legacy mills on Craig's List, so if you don't have the skills to build a machine like Alex's, get a used mill. I'm saying up for their CNC machine.

@Jer_Schmidt 9 лет назад

Very cool! I like the use of a bike chain and sprocket set to allow ratio changes. It's something most people have access to so they can replicate your machine.

you probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me

@jorgerene1758 2 года назад

@Alfredo Major Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@jorgerene1758 2 года назад

@Alfredo Major it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass!

@petershelper 9 лет назад

Hi, Good to see you are still doing interesting things with and to wood. I noticed that the 90 degree direction attachment in your design (for using with a drill) was wobbling a bit as you operated your device. I don't know if your design would be improved if you could in some way grip the 90 degree attachment to remove the wobble. Then again, perhaps the wobble would just be transferred to some other part of the design!

@franciscogastardelli2395 8 лет назад

Prazer amigo ,que idéia boa ,"Deus" é muito bom por colocar pessoas inteligente no mundo como você, obrigado amigo ,posso copiar ???

@rumenrashkov3012 8 лет назад

Where I can to find this driving belt and the coupe cogged wheels from?

@kierondesmond7791 3 года назад

I think I'll try something simpler. All thread to move the router. Then it's easy to pully or gear between that and the lathe spindle. Idler gear and tensioner if needed. =D I might mount the router behind or above the lathe so it can stay in place while the lathe is used as normal. =D

Hi, Alex. I really enjoyed your Router Spiral Cutting Jig and I would like to know how can I purchase the project? Thank you and big hug

@hosseinhayati9820 6 лет назад

It looks like your lathe has a servo motor with encoder/break at the rear part. If so, why not digitalize your lathe? Using for instance Arduino and some servor motor driver.

bonjour Harold pourrais je avoir les plans de montage pour faire le même outil que le tiens? Je voudrais me construire une machine à travailler le bois comme la tienne. Merci d'avance.

@calisdad3 9 лет назад

Brilliant. Can you gear it tight enough to cut threads? Craftsman made a tool to do this years ago called the 'Router Crafter'.

@thiswoodwork 9 лет назад

calisdad3 Thanks! Not easily. The best thing to do would be to replace the timing belt with a lead screw or threaded rod. That should provide a much lower linear, travel making it more suited to cutting threads.

@lolatmyage 9 лет назад

That cassette/freewheel wouldnt wobble on an actual rear hub of a bicycle. Mounting it would be difficult though, most front forks cant fit a rear hub (maybe a fatbike fork would work) and mounting half of a bicycle into this jig wouldnt be easy either. Using a rear fork is probably easier, the bottom bracket could work as a pivot to put tension onto the chain or as just a mount. A folding bike with the right clearance would be perfect.

@8320ruben 7 лет назад

Hi Alex!!! awesome and congratulatons. And i am trying to do something like that, but i wanna ask you something, Could you please tell me , what is the name of that orange thing , the piece that is like a drill. ?

@pH7oslo 7 лет назад

I think they're just called right angle drill adapters.

@Eduardo20049 8 лет назад

não tem legenda?

@lasivianleandros3558 9 лет назад

Nice. If you're anywhere near Seattle i'll be happy to 3D print you some parts to help take out that wobble. :)

@thiswoodwork 9 лет назад

Lasivian Leandros Thanks, that's very kind, although I don't imagine I will be.

@doylemetzinger1774 7 лет назад

Just look for WoodPrix page and build it too.

@madozman666 6 лет назад

Cool project. Wouldn't want to accidentally turn your lathe on with all that connected. Would make for an awesome video though I suppose :-)

@peterfranz1650 5 лет назад

👍👍👍👍👍

@kevinbeitz1469 6 лет назад

Google a zero-max gear box. You won’t need extra sprockets.

@aksmith68 9 лет назад

That's a lot cheaper to build than a Legacy Ornamental Mill!

@ghettasbouhafs5673 8 лет назад

is goooooood job good leck

@KevinSmithGeo 8 лет назад

Impressive, but you're actually cutting a helix, not a spiral. If you worked at an angle so that the radius is changing as it turns (say if you started with a cone instead of a cylinder), then it would technically be a spiral.
