Hi Dewell Welcome to the group legacy being slack is nothing new I don't know anybody they haven't screwed around that own a legacy old mill even when that's all they made. now I think it's all cnc. They even promised Tim one of this groups leading members who in the past has put many many hours in for free helping and promoting these great mills one of their brand new model manual machines for all his efforts. But I bet he has not received it or even heard a thing I really hope I'm wrong. But I bet I'm not .how's that new mill going Tim?
Any way between us all on here I bet we can find or work out how to make whatever you need for your 900 Don't forget take pictures of whatever you make and post it for us all to see we love seeing work that has been done on the mills Anything you need to know about the manual mills someone here will know just ask great group of people here.

Dewell, Welcome to the group. You have gotten a heck of a deal. Unfortunately you have also learned of the down side to the machine. The 900 is no longer in production. They have a very poor history of customer support and a lot of frustration with the owners. Depending on what you need there are others in the group that can give guidance on how to obtain some items. there are a number of us in the group that have determined that when we upgrade to CNC it will not be a legacy product as we already know what you have just learned. You can talk to the owner, sales and if you are lucky enough for some to actually answer the phone perhaps someone in shipping. they do not usually take the money until the items ship however that can be an issue of itself. I ordered my machine a 900 also brand new was promised a shipment date and found out much later on that they had not even run the parts to make it. By then I had lost the job I had bid on and that also caused me some pretty big issues. I was promised shipment when I called explaining why I had required the machine, was made a new promise and that was not kept nor was it ever intended to be kept. That being said the group here has been a phenomenal source of info and assistance. Magnate for the bits needed is awesome. I can call them with a bit order and usually have it in 2-3 days. Let the group know what you are looking for and someone here may have a way to help you out.

I recently purchased a used Model 900 (used as in used 4 times...I think he made four pen blanks) also included was 16 different bits for the router. The router was also included (Porter Cable 7539), along with the floor stand for the Model 900. Also included was an additional gear set; .25 Duplex. Everything looks brand new...15 of the 16 router bits still have that plastic dip covering the cutting edges and each has its own square plastic container that it came in. I got all this for $500. So (now) I can probably say that this is the best deal I have ever been party to, and I'm 58 years old. Having said all of the above.......I am very concerned about the manufacturer of my Legacy 900. I called Legacy and ordered a part for my 900. I was asssured that my order would go our the next morning. That was last week. As of this writing I have not seen a debit on my bank account for the order I gave them. Have any of y'all had problems getting parts from Legacy? From talking to them, and considering my order has not been fullfiled, I get the distinct feeling that this company is more interested in just selling people a machine and not providing replacement parts for the machine they own. I hope I am wrong, but they seem eager to sell me an upgraded and more expensive machine as opposed to replacing one small component of my model 900. I would greatly appreciate any help from y'all to tell me how to persuade them to send me a part. Thank you for your time and consideration in my email. I look forward to your reply.
