Hallo to all I have joined the group with the intrest in the legacy, to learn more about the mill and the process, I cannot add my 2cent worth because I live in the middle east and to ship the legacy here will almost cost 3 times more than the mill itself, but then I do appreciate what the other members greate with the mill. I have a cnc hobby router and will adapt that to be able to play with the indexer, at the end of the day would it still be nice to work with a legacy - I think it will be more hands - on creations.
keep it going, I do appreciate art that is being created Chris On Jul 4, 3:40 pm, Chainlink <dustinyo...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Tim, > > I wanted to chime in regarding not posting often.
