Joe, I just sent you the manual. The rack was made by Legacy. Give them a call and see what they can do for you. Otherwise mcmaster-carr has rack you can purchase that would do the job. The software question, I would have you talk to Legacy. They have a modified setup of mach-3. It's not available for the general public to purchase, but you might be an exception?

If I remember correctly I think I sent Tim a copy of the directions 3 or 4 years ago, he may still have them. What size machine are you putting this on is it 4, 6 or 8 foot long? Also what model is the machine? The rack and pinion came out a few years after they started making the upgrade, Jeff Becker From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 5:31 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: legacy "performance" cnc upgrade...questions and right out of the gate i see an issue...seems the instruction manual i have with this equipment, explains installing a rack and pinion and no mention of direct drives...i did not get any racks or pinions and was told that this was an earlier version of the "performance" cnc package and thus, the direct drive set ups...anyone have any knowledge of this?...anyone have any knowledge of where to possibly get the racks?...any chance the company is around the corner from my house?(like the lead screw was!)...LMAO!...although some of the photos seem to show what looks like custom made racks that have right angle bends to them...since legacy laser cut their own pitch gears, i might guess they made these racks as well and i am SOL on getting those...what is a bit interesting is on the cover of the manual is a photo of this upgrade installed on a model 1800, but not with racks and pinions...the photo shows direct drives...go figure...so if anyone does have the manual/instructions on the install of the direct drive set ups, a copy would be very much appreciated...thanks...joe biunno -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
