I am new to the group here and have spent some time reading other peoples comments about the service Legacy is not providing it's past customers. I purchased a 1000ex a few years ago second hand and would like to upgrade my unit. I just use my unit for my own projects so upgrade is not critical but would be nice. Several months ago I called Legacy to see if it was possible to purchase the Z-axis upgrade for the unit I have and was told they didn't make those anymore. I read on their web page a few years age the upgrade also required replacing the tailstock. Just a couple weeks ago I called them to see if I could purchase some index hubs. I used the wrong words in starting the conversation saying I needed some "parts" for my machine instead of "accessaries" when talking to the salesman. He forwarded the call to the owner when he heard the model I had and that I wanted parts. The owner eventually told me there wasn't enough profit in just selling me the hubs and wouldn't sell me any since I wasn't the origional purchaser of the mill. Luckily I have enough hubs to get by for now. So my question to the group here is, if several wanted a z-axis upgrade, how much would it be to get a machine shop to make some? If they were just making one it would probably be more than Legacy charged when they were still making them, but if we could get several made at the same time it could make the project affordable. I have tried (not real hard) to find the manufacter of the aluminum rails and have not been sucessful yet. How many would be interested in investigating this possiblility? Dexter
