Hello Richard.For the price, I would look outwards, instead of buying another
Legacy just for its rail's to make your REVO longer. Why not look at something
that can be use instead of the alum. rail? 80/20 sells alum. rail that might
work for you? I replaced my lower rails on my Legacy with Uni-strut years ago.
(long story ..., but I did it was for a job that I was doing for someone else.
I ended up keeping it that way more or less.)You know you could do pretty much
like I did. buy some ( brand X) rail and use the rail from the Revo to extend
your Revo... That way you don't throw out the baby with the bath water, (so to
speak) but replace only what is necessary.
I think finding the acme screw is going to be much harder to find then the
rail. that is if you want apples-apples. the 5/8"x4 acme screw is VERY Hard to
find. but a 5/8"x8 is a common and very easy screw to find. Perhaps??? you
might look at the idea going with a new screw all together?
I wish you luck on your endeavors. Remember there is almost always more then
one way to get any job done.talk to you more latter.

I have two LOM's One is the old Woodchuck, it does what I want it to do, I put

Craftsman-- nice little machine and more fun to use, Much better for seeing
what I am doing, I have powered both the leadscrew and the spindle.------Hate
turning those handles.If only they had made the Revo a little longer!!? I am
now looking to purchase a 900, to swap the rails and leadscrew from one to the
other,
The seller wants far too much for the 900 and I am going to feel very guilty
when I make him an offer, no doubt he will refuse, and the machine will gather
dust again. The U,K market, is small compared to the U,S,A,
I have the horrible feeling that when it comes time to sell up, I am 83 in
March, there will be no buyers. And all will go to the tip.It appears that most
folk who have purchased from the U.K. agent, Regret it, and leave the LOM's
gathering dust
I welcome comments from Roger, and others on my thoughts,Richard
