Hello Dewell the reeding and fluting bits are for cutting from the side or the work piece, What is really Kool about these bits is they will follow a couture of the spindle making some very nice effects to what would be a ordinary turning. (the bits must cut at the center line of the spindle.) You can use the bearing, but if your not careful, the bearing could fall into an all ready made cut, ruining the work piece, When I cut reeds or flutes where this might happen, I like to use a template so there is not chance of this mistake happening. The core box bit can be used for lots of things, first off to cut a grove in two pieces of wood, and then gluing the pieces together, this will make a hole in the middle or a glue up turning. this hole could be used for hollow spindle turning, or a way to add a lamp cord through post... also a core box bit can be very handy for flat work pieces, like trays or boxes. The 900 is a descent machine, Do you have a motor control? (the motor really adds a lot the Legacy) When I bough my 1000, I did not buy the motor, But after a while I started to relies what I was missing out on.So I made my own, And I can tell you first hand the motor is a must for anyone who wants to get the most out of there machines.
I hope this helps you out? I highly recommend to play with your Legacy a lot before you start trying to make nice idioms, Use fire wood, or old construction material's, Why spend good money on wood that most likely will end up in the waist bin. Think of it as SAW DUST Therapy ;-) (remove the wood chips and see what's there.) Play, Enjoy, and Learn form what you do. is the best way to get the most out of ,your time spent. And then post pictures So others here can learn form you too. ;-) Have a good night. Talk to you, and all latter.

Im a pipe-fitter /plumber at the hospital, I am responsible for all the piping systems ( plumbing,steam,med gases... , ) Ive been there for 19 years now, and believe me, The job is more an adventure, (something strange/unusual involving the unknown.) It may be stress full at times, but Never boring. ;-) Since you moved, have you been able to get your shop back up and running? If I remember correctly you had to sell a lot of stuff to get ready for the big move. By the way How far are you from Salem OR? You know that Tim lives there,Wouldn't it be strange that there were two Legacy's within just a few miles apart. My kids want to get on the computer now, and honestly, I should be getting ready for bed anyways. ;-) I will talk to you , and everyone latter. Have a good night. C.A.G.

Thank you for your service to our nation's veterans. What do you do there? I go to the VA clinic here in Brookings (OR). We're getting a new and larger clinic in about a year. They will probably hire more people, so apply early. It's nice here. No snow and ice. Will post later.

Thank you for your reply to my inquiry wherein you indicated "It's time for me to get to work," your message was time stamped 1:14am (PST): which makes me wonder where you live (time zone) and what kind of work you do that requires such an early arrival. I delivered bread to grocery stores in Los Angeles for years and reported to work around 4:30 am. What do you do for a living, Curtis? .....It would be interesting to learn what other members of our forum do for a living or, if they are retired, what they are retired from. I would like to thank you and the other responders to my question regarding the 36 & 40 indexing plates; knowing me, those two indexing plates will increase my chances of making firewood by 36-40 percent. So thanks a lot. The guy that sells me lumber says thanks too. :-)))) You guys have a great day! I've got to get to bed so I can wake up in time to watch the Masters golf tournament. FORE!

Welcome Back Dewell, I hope your shop is up and running well in Oregon. To answer your question, about the 36 and 40 position indexing plates, One possible reason is for coping already made idioms, where the spacing of flutes or other details have to be more or less exact.to match an all ready made idiom. I personally have run into this problem in the past , doing side job work for people. By the way, if you or anyone in the group runs into this problem, Mike Pung has a gear indexing video on YouTube, He can match up almost any indexing needed with out the use of indexing plated, and counting all those little hole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o By using the gears/pitches you can come up with an almost limitless number of indexing possibility's . ( Good stuff in my Book! Thank's Mike! this idea is a very real gem in my tool box.) Its time for me to get to work. Have a GREAT DAY. And Please keep in touch. C.A.G.

If this (one) does also; please let me note that my name is Dewell and I transplanted myself from Florida to Oregon 15 months ago. Was it you Curtis (CAG) who wanted me to send you the MA 12 videos a couple of years ago, so you could copy them? Or was it someone else? I stand ready to assist you. Please identify yourself.
