Hi Curt, to clarify, I said look at it for inspiration, not that the angle ease in it's current form works for us. For example the lamination technique used to hold the router is interesting. The way the threaded dowel pins are used is great for mdf construction. The way the router holding block is locked into sliding up and down two arms is interesting. The idea that the arms articulate is interesting. The indexing at specific angles is attractive to me. All these features where built into something that I thought was well thought out. To me it was all home machining solutions. The need for typical machining and construction techniques where bypassed. I can see you are seeing some potential.

I feel that the biggest problem with the plunge routing set up on the Legacy, is the lack of plunge depth (3") , the A-E-R would be great for getting the most out from your router bits, but it too lacks the extra depth that I am looking for. But having said that, It would be a very easy modification for a 1000ex to use. ;-) C.A.G. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello All, As long as people are looking at possibilities of a z-axis, I always thought that there was some potential in the Angle Ease devices. I'm not sure what the patent covers but for home use, there is no issue. http://www.woodhaven.com/Angle-Ease-Router/b/3026340011?ie=UTF8&title=Angle+Ease More informative is the instruction for the AngleEase and the Mini Angle Ease. Also take a look at the EZ Lifts for some ideas. http://www.woodhaven.com/info/Instructions Share your thought please. That's what a discussion group is for. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
