@curtis...that is something that i am giving a lot of thopught...would i ever need two carriages at the same time?...do i ever need to set up one carriage for a specific job and leave the other carriage for other operations?...do i keep the other carriage in case i want to split up the machines and sell them?...i am also using the cnc upgrade that came with the 1800 i recently purchased...if i do, i might want to have one carriage set uo to use manually, and another set up with the stepper motor from the upgrade kit...on the flip side my budget is maxed out and i still have a ways to go, both in labor and materials...so with all that being said, i would consider selling the cnc upgrade and a carriage, if i get the right money...if you want, you can send a message to me at finun...@aol.com...thanks for the interest...joe biunno On Saturday, August 31, 2013 3:59:11 PM UTC-4, Curtis wrote: > > Joe are you going to use both Legacy carriages on this new machine of > yours? > C.A.G. > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* finu...@aol.com <javascript:> > *To:* legacy-orna...@googlegroups.com <javascript:> > *Cc:* finu...@aol.com <javascript:> > *Sent:* Saturday, August 31, 2013 3:15 PM > *Subject:* Re: joining two machines...progress report > > i also heard of that machine and was told it was 40ft...my guess was that > it was a boat shop that was using it...at least they are not making drapery > rods,LOL!...i would be curious to know if they are cutting aluminum with > that machine...or is it only wood?...and if it is only wood, it most likely > is a retro or restoration shop...it would be great to see a photo of that > machine...but sometimes these boat guys can be very secretative regarding > their methods and techniques...maybe some info will mysteriously appear and > an inquiry can be made in regards to seeing a photo of it...might also be > interesting to know if anything between that machine and a 2000 was ever > made by legacy...good stuff on this thread...thanks guys...joe biunno > On Friday, August 30, 2013 5:58:58 PM UTC-4, legacy woodworking wrote: >> >> I remember a conversation with John Hennon and he told me they had made a >> legacy for a boat builder, If I remember correctly it was something like 30 >> or 40 foot long they used it to make the mast.
