Hi Bill The fact of the matter is that the Evolution did not sell! Why did it not sell was partially because of the price of $3,000.00 and that was where it was because it was designed to be CNC up-gradable.
Now maybe Andy got that wrong, personally I think he was correct and I was a strong advocate of that feature. What we forgot at the time was that the low cost CNC market was growing, hence why the Explorer sells well, and that was where Legacy has to be and the cost of an Explorer is on the face of it an extra $1,000 or so. Actually people forget that you need a PC, software and “the knowledge to drive the system” so it is not for everyone and that leaves an opportunity for someone to come to market with a manual machine. If I was twenty years younger I might have had a go but my sights are currently set on moving house in the next few weeks and working out how to get the contents of my 20’ by 20’ garage into a wooden workshop 10’ by 12’, now that is a design problem.

I agree with you with the economic times now The evolution I feel would be a good seller or the revo witch use to sell for under a $1000 That’s what I started with then after a time spent a fortune on extras lolo Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of CURTIS GEORGE Sent: Monday, 16 February 2015 7:04 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Woodworking show Hello Everyone. I was able to make it to the woodworking show today. Sorry Bill, Nether Tracy or Andy were there. I young gentleman was teaching and a nice lady was running the CNC demo. so I was not able to talk shop with the Big Dawgs today. But On the good sides I was able to watch and pick up a lot of neat stuff,. For you CNC Guys there were 4 other CNC sellers doing demos and selling there stuff. and all had the ability to do spindles, although not in the same scale as Legacy has now, but If you ask me Legacy kn itch is getting much smaller, in the CNC field, But on a good note No ONE was doing spindles or could conpeat with the Legacy manual machines A primitive model 600 or 900 I think would do well in todays market. AND I realy think that Legacy should try a up-graded there model 200 again, The pen turning market was huge this year. (just my 2 cents worth of it. Just in case, Legacy is still looking at this web page/group posting .) ;-) I did get the " Intelligent Woodworking pamplet" that Legacy was giving away, (I will get it copied for all here to see latter.) Todays Big sales ,or draws for me were , Ron Brown from brown's best (top knot-ch turner and salesman. his chatter, knelling ,and texturing tools were impressive. ) Carter tools, sales people also were also entertaining and informative . Packard woodworks has a lot of neat stuff ! , Woodline has a very nice 1 1/2" carbide planing cutter with interchangeable/replaceable square cut carbides, Very KOOL in my book. (It was $75.00 at the show. ) (I did not buy it this year, but I think it would be a good deal for the Legacy in the long-run.) Also a note on SteelStamp and Brands-first (custom made branding irons.) Arbortech (grinding and carving wheels) and Hannes tool (lathe tools.) were all very good. Epilog Laser was very nice, but way out-side my woodworking interests. (things that I make or want to make at this min. But none the less Neat stuff.) Over all today was a lot of fun. I did come back with a few new ideas to try on/with my Legacy. I hope everyone has a great day. We will talk to you all latter.
