Welcome to the group. I can answer some of the questions on the Evolution.
a.. The tilting z axis has limited use. I think it's up to the new owner to
really find out it's usefulness :-).
b.. Your correct that there is no template feature on the new model. We have
talked about this a little bit in the group and determined something could be
rigged up. The developer felt that if you need to do detailed template work,
it would be better to upgrade to a cnc model.
c.. There is a listing for a rotary table but no picture. You will have to
ask Legacy about it. I'd like to know the answer myself.
Have fun looking around.

Hi Tim,
I'm Dan and have lived in Alaska for the past 30 years. Have been active in
the woodworking craft business for the past 10 years (mostly bowls) and am
retiring in the next couple of months so will have time to expand my horizons.
Really wanted to jump right into the CNC equipment but my wife will be retiring
within another year and didn't want to have to relocate all that heavy
equipment back down to America when we move. In the meantime, I am about ready
to purchase an Evolution and play with that until we make the move. I ahve
spoken to the staff at Leagcy and didn't know if the members here could help me
out on a couiple of things? First, the Evolution has 7 axis' and I'm not sure
exactly what 6 and 7 (the two tilting axis' on the Z) are for? I notice that
they don't have a follower template on the new machine and was curious how
things like custom and swan neck molding are done on the new machine. Also,
wanted to be able to use the rotary axis feature for hollowing segmented bowls
(I'm not very good with lathe tools) and not sure if this is available anymore?
If anyone knows if they have replaced these features with different production
techniques (same end result) it would be helpful for me to know that before I
purchase a new machine. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and will spend some
time reading through all the posts that are in this forum.
Thanx,
Dan
