Hi I am from Australia and I have a legacy 900 and a revo and I wont beat around the bush the back up is shit from legacy according to many of the comments I have seen here over the last year or so.and from my point of view it is hard to find out anything from way down here. but even then as far as information goes it doesn't matter you can find out all you ever want to know here on this site I do.great guys on here very very helpful..try emailing magnate they are very good they always answer emails I send to them and you can buy most legacy stuff from them as well. as far as which machine to buy I think it all comes back to how much you got to spend these new cnc machines are great wish I could afford one they will do easily what you would have a great deal of trouble and time doing on the manual machines. and the legacy site seems to be aimed more at the cnc guys now with all the info they post on there good luck with your decision on which to buy all great machines I love em Bill

Rich, Is the rotary axis mod you speak of your own design or are there actual printed plans for it? Does your Joe use Mach3 for control or something else? I presume it uses stepper motors and controllers as well? Also, does humidity have any type of adverse effect on the MFD framing? (I presume that it is painted and sealed well).
