Hello All, Legacy gives the EVO's lineage as growing out of the ornamental mill, but it's much more complicated than that. The ornamental mill first morphed into a cnc and now it has morphed back into a manual machine as something largely new. If you just traced the lineage of the manual machines, there is a missing link in the evolutionary chain. The Evo is not conceivable without Legacy's experience with CNC's. This is most noticeable with the Z-Axis, the linear bearings, and the turning centers.
I must say that the EVO has a truly developed Z Axis. I don't know how vises and other attachments will work with the EVO since the aluminum railing is gone. In general, the flat stock envelope is much different. Given the frame is loosely based on the Arty, I imagine it will come as a 36 or 58 center to center and be capable 11 inch turnings. I probably would wish for a custom made 8 footer! As teases go, this is a pretty good one, so I can't wait for the first video and the pricing.
