tim,thanks for the explanations...i'll assume roger cannot get rust-oleum paints...right now i cannot think of any use we might have for the circular table on the legacy( i do have the accessory)...30 years of making furniture and various other decorative items, the need for a spiral on a rosette has never come up...and if it did(my memory is a bit spotty at times!), unless we needed a good number of pieces, we simply did the work by hand...if it was straight cuts, we always did the work on our shaper with a french spindle...i will admit though, i have seen what the computerized machines can do and it is very impressive...but for where my business is at at this time, for what i see coming up in the next several years and for what my customers need, i do not see investing in computer equipment prudent for my shop...plus it would be up to yours truly to do the programming and i don't see that happening either...but i do find it interesting...perhaps we can see your mod when it is done...again,thanks...joe
