Hello Roger Its been a long time... Happy new year! Thanks for you input. To be honest with you (and everyone) this topic has been an odd ball topic of our for years now. If and when I make my own machine I will be useing rail road track and turning telphone poles on it. But that is many years up the road, for me. ;-) I too am a fan of the Legacy. I just want to make the most of what I have. And I know that it/I could do more. that's all. Ive had my own problems with the company over the years. but... Over all I still love my machine. and I am greatfull to Andy and Tracy for everything that thay have done. I have no real problems, just lack of money. ;-) And with the mind set, that there is Always a better way to do anything, I still am (as always) looking for the pot of gold at the end of the RainBow. Have a good day, I have to get back to work now.
(I owe, I owe, so off the work I go!)

Now he does not sell so many manual machines so he does not buy a lot of extrusion and put politely the attitude of his supplier is typical of many large corporations who give delivery dates and then screw you around. So save your energy and put it towards designing your dream machine!

And I would still like enough to make a 8 foot machine. I have never made a project out of finding a source, but may I'll find some time.
