Hello again Joe.
I'm what you call the "Working poor" Or Married with Children. ;-)
I don't have any extra cash for any play things at this moment. All my Play
money comes for side jobs, which are few at this moment. So Thank you for the
offer,but sadly I must say no to any new toys at this time.
But If I were you, I might look at using both carriages at the same time, one
making a rough cut and that other making a finishing pass. or just use one as a
mobile steady rest, to keep any vibration away from the spindle while cutting.
(I'm not sure, but I would think that any long spindles will need somekind of
steady rest to stop the spindle form moving while cutting.) On my lathe I
always use steady rest on anything over 6', 2"or less in size. You are talking
about making curtain rods , I believe this is something that you will need to
look into in the future? I would recommend Not selling off anything before you
are very sure , you will not need it in the future, if I were you. (I've
learned that lesion the hard way in the past, Selling...)
Talk to you more latter Joe. I've got a lot to get done before my Holladay
vacation is over. ;-) Have a good night.
C.A.G.

@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

Joe are you going to use both Legacy carriages on this new machine of yours?

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

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. I do not remember if it was a
manuel or cnc. But you may be able to find one
