Good for you Shipmate. I cant wait to hear how everything works out for you. The Legacy is a good machine, but like any tool its only as good as the person using it, If you dont have the time, Legacy still makes and sells the part you want, (Y axis split nut, and gears.) but like you said its not all that hard to make the things you need to make your machine work as it was meant to. I was too in the Navy, I was a Hull Technician (HT2) and am now (, for the last 19 yrs.) a Pipe-fitter at the VA hospital Ann Arbor Mi, It is a small world! Also about your mill, on some of the early units, the Y axis was not run on the acme screw, they use a thumb screw and blocks to hold the carriage in place while cutting, So if and until that time comes for you to make the parts, YOU can still use the mill even if that Y axis split nut in not done. And as far as the index gear??? Perhaps Tim, or one of our members could help you out on that topic? I wish you luck on your adventure and restoring your Legacy. Have a good day. C.A.G.
----- Original Message ----- Indeed. I bought mine knowing by looking at it that things were broken or missing. I wasn't too worried about that, as it was cheaper than the kind of lathe stand I was looking for (the fall-back position). Mine appears to have been hit by a car in the garage or otherwise tipped over, and not assembled correctly in the first place. I have an extensive background with machinery, having served in the US Navy as a Machinist's Mate, worked as a mechanic for 20+ years, and am a journeyman in the Millwright's union. Now, I work as a mechanical engineer, for the last 17 years. I just need to buy a few things to make it into the router that it should be. It took about 6 hours of looking at it and tweaking to get it all lined up and square, and install the remainder of the loose parts. All I need now are the index gear(s) and the X-Axis split nut (which I will make myself) to be in business.

Are all the machines in the corners right now? Craft season is coming up , anyone still making a buck with items coming off the equipment? Anyone have a stair project for a deck (mighty boring to me) in the works? -Tim <blockquote> ----- Original Message ----- From: Brigitte Graham To: legacy-ornamental-mills Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 2:10 PM Subject: Re: 1200 in Phoenix asking $2750 Its been a bit quite of late boys.......?
