Hi George, The obsolete nature of the equipment has been brought up before. As long as people such as myself continue to explore the options of the equipment and continue to expand on the capabilities, I don't see the Legacy Ornamental Mills becoming so obsolete that they can never be used. The only part of minor concern to me is the proprietary rails. Otherwise, the rest of the components are easy to fabricate with common materials and machinery if replacement components are needed.
I think the platform that Andy has come up with is really just a starting point. The market is driving the current decision to go CNC. I'll go so far as to say I wonder if the styling that the Legacy is capable of creating ( ropes, barley twists, reeds and coves) are not very desirable at the moment. That certainly would explain the lack of equipment sales and the lack of projects being shown in the group. I do know people who see a twist for the first time are pretty impressed with them but translating to sales is another topic. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "gscott40" <gdscot...@gmail.com> To: "Legacy Ornamental Mills" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 5:54 AM Subject: Re: A question Well thanks for all of the advice gentlemen.... I guess I'll take a second mortgage out on the house and order the two sets of gears. Will have to wait on the rotary table.....the house isn't worth that much. Someone asked if I had a motor drive .....no I don't. Perhaps in the future....a winter project maybe. I too am concerned about the manual mills going the way of the dinosaur. Thanks again.
