I like the newer style carriage because they have self aligning tabs. I'm almost 90 percent convinced the old style bushings are better. Comparing the manufacturing techniques of the bearings I would think the newer style is almost twice as fast to produce. I don't know why Legacy officially changed.
I agree that you should not take the carriage apart unless you want to spend
some time aligning things. In my case, it's not an issue. On the same note, if
your version is not cutting at a 90ยบ, you now know the reason.

Hello Tim, Yes all side are the same on my 1000 carnage (there is no front or
back side to this carriage) as well as the Pem inserts. just as long as you
align the slides on and in the rail you should be fine.DId someone break down
the Alum rail off of the top of those steel brackets? alighting the rail is a
bit harder, but I don't think you will be much trouble for you. My unit has the
T type slides like what I see in the picture, I like the design better than
what Legacy latter used, I find once its all aligned it slides and stays
aligned much longer than the top hat type of guide.

Subject: Model 1000 carriage detail
Hello All model 1000/1500 (aluminum rail version) owners,
Can anyone confirm that the front and back piece of the carriage are
identical. Also can you confirm that there are 6 pem inserts on the outside
and four facing up.
Here's a picture of a carriage from an earlier model and I believe they
carried this part forward until the change in the model 900/1200/1800's.
Any help would be appreciated.
-Tim
