Had another thought. I just studied my 900. The upper & lower rails are
identical. As I said before I am no wiz at customization, but it looks to me
that one could take the lower rail & use it to extend the upper. One could
then use wood to hold the head & tailstock. It would have to be quite good, to
keep the headstock & tailstock in alignment & to accomadate the gear box, but
many of you might be good at this. Just an idea, that might have promise???
maybe not....

woodchuck they had steel rails which are available every were and improve on
the problems that legacy had with them

I haven't "customised "my legacy, but if I were facing your issue I would
get very hard wood, like Lignum vitae and make rails myself. One could surely
use router bits to make the openings for the hardware. & I bet one could try
this and get a usable rail.

Hello Brigitte and Bill
Extruded Alum. is what the 80-20 stuff calls it. But I honestly do
not know the type of,or mold...
Bill if you still have that scan of the rail, could you send it here?
I have gone to some company's who
sell Extruded alum. but no go there. I've also gone to web sites and
looked at there stuff, (still no dice.)
Imp sure you are right, someone will stumble upon it someday.
Hay with 200+ people looking for the answers, Im sure we all will
figure something out!
I was thinking of back tracking the Legacy/Phantom ind. history, to
see if there might be some clues to where the rail
comes from?
Who know??? I just might pay off.
I have to go.
talk to you (all) latter.

Ps what I use to do was put a piece of rail on my computer scanner
end on and scan the rail profile to send to different companies
but no one here in my country has ever seen it so good luck to any
who search in the USA

Hello Bill, (and everyone else!) ;-)
I've been searching the net for the Extruded Alum. rail for a
while.(with no luck so far.)
I believe that there is no way the Legacy is having the rail
custom made for there comp.
My only reason I say this is They are way to small of a company
to pay for custom rail
its not cost effective for a small comp. To go out and pay an arm
and a leg
for a material that makes up a big part of product. THERE has to
be a supplier for that rail,
somewhere ! We just have to find it.
You know what is funny? every time this topic comes up, I start
thinking about making my own
Machine,"bigger", better,faster...(I hear the theme for the Six
million dollar man, going off in my head now,
sadly I know its almost time for a commercial break. I call
Dinner time!) ;-)
Anyhow I just wanted you to know that I'm still looking. Don't
give up yet Bill.
Who knows its properly as simple As, an Australian company who is
making there product in Mexico (with Chinese labor.) ;-)
Have a good night.
C.A.G.

well at the moment I'm OK for stuff after years of searching
the Internet
but if any one was dismantling a damaged mill I would like
four 7ft rails and a long lead screw to make my 900 into a
longer machine
but I doubt if that will ever happen
any thing else that legacy doesn't have good old Tim is the man
the best source of
legacy mods there is.
rail is the hardest to get I would love to know were legacy
gets it and see if we can buy it for our selves
direct
and before any body posts sights that sell similar I want the
same rail .

Bill,
That's an eye opener! If you could post the stuff you want
just in
case some of us run across it used.

Its been a while so the figures here are approximate what I
can remember.
shipping and handling is like 800 dollars if I remember and
another $200
Australian import tax to my goverment because the item is
over a thousand
dollars in value
so all up it is around $2400 to buy and ship a 900 to me and
at that time
your dollar was a lot stronger so it was even more expensive
when I did the
dollar exchange like $2600 AU. I wanted a bigger machine but
it nearly
broke me to get a 900 here.
on the other hand a revo which was under a $1000 eight
hundred and something
I think it was, eliminated the 200 import tax and the
shipping and handling
was around 500 I think so all up the revo is around $1300
making it a much
better option but of coarse that is gone now with no more
revos.
so imagine if I wanted a cnc which comes fully assembled and
much heaver I
would have to sell my house to buy the dam thing that is why
cnc will always
be totally out of my reach.
and any extras to buy from legacy the shipping is very high
too so I don't
mind paying new cost for second hand legacy extras on ebay or
privately
because it always works out much cheaper for me than new from
legacy .and
legacy shipping to Australia has always been very very very
slow
magnate was the best cheaper and quicker but they dont do
much extras now.

Bill,
How much does it cost to ship your 900 from Utah?
