Hello Joe I second that, I would not even try to up-grade with the alum. rail. true the steel rail may have some play in THEM, but I believe you should be able to work around that in most cases. if not you can always re-enforce the rails with other solid material like plywood or corrian...? Your uni-strut rails will be very easy to modify if you want in the future. there are lots of possibilities to your old machine. I would play around and get to learn as much as you can with this machine, if I were you. The chain is an add on, not Legacy's, and can not be used with the gears, But I do like the idea. (both Bill and Tim have been playing around with the same concept in the,not-so-very long past.) Your wooden index plates are very nice. Over all I really like your machine. I cant wait to see/hear what you will be making with it. have a great day. And Again Welcome to the Group.

Have you seen the tutorials on Legacy's original site? Look at everything under the training tab. http://legacywoodworking.com/ I too am curious to see what machine you have. Hard to guess without seeing a photo. Is it painted red or black? -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curtis" <curtgeo...@wowway.com> To: "Legacy Ornamental Mills" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 6:16 PM Subject: A message form a new member wordsmit...@gmail.com I own an older legacy mill (pre Aluminum carriage) and need any instructions or help I can get. I have no documentation whatsoever and the mill has had a home built drive to long screw axis added. I dont know the model but it appears the capacity is just short of 96" measured from headstock.
