@roger...thanks for the info...i did see the photos... and should anyone who has their latest cnc equipment, and the evo, ever need additional rails, for whatever reason, they will have no issues getting it...that being the case, here are some questions...does the company that made the extrusion that we all have on our older machines, still make that type of railing?...would legacy allow us to purchase it directly from that company,IF they do not want a sale of that type to go through them?...or have the sale go through them... i might think it would not matter to any of us what the logistics are...would that company sell to an end user?...and in a small quantity?...and i am not referring to using the railing only for machine extensions...i can see using it for jigs and fixtures,especially since those black nylon glides on the carriages were made to fit the extrusion perfectly...if we did get a green light from legacy, i might anticipate a possible issue with the manufacturer in regards to the "minimum quantity" issue...but i will but my pessimism aside for a moment and hope for the best...well, just something to think about...again, thanks for the info...much appreciated, joe biunno
