Hello Mark. Welcome to the group.
Home improvement is a good way to get started. But I do highly rec-emend that
you "PLAY" with your Legacy before you plan to "WORK" with it. Using scrap
wood, cut-off's/shorts, even fire wood is a good choice to start with. The
Legacy has a small learning curve that needs to be understood before you start
"Working" with the machine, I mean, Why waist good wood to learn all the small
things that may go wrong. Once you understand how the machine works, then you
can see, all the ways That you,can , perhaps? make it work better.Live and
Learn, is not a bad adage, But to do things correctly is (or should be)
our/your main Goals. ;-)
One more tid-bit. The Legacy and the lathe will work very well together, each
has its own strong points.
talk to you more latter.
C.A.G.

Glad to have been admitted. I'm a hobbyist woodworker with kids that are
finally getting old enough to let me go back down into my shop. Most of my
project over the past 15 years have been around fixing up a 120+ year old home.
My current equipment is in my basement shop - table saw, scms, 16"
jointer/planer/mortiser combo, router table, and a bunch of hand power tools
(track saw, sanders, drills, etc). I still could use a bandsaw (egads!),
lathe, and proper drill press, but tool collecting is an ongoing activity. I'm
located in southern Ohio.
I remember first seeing the ornamental mills about 15 years ago and thinking
they were amazing, but never had enough money or justification or time to
consider it. More recently, I have been looking at CNC machines (gantry
router) as a way to move my CAD designs into the physical, but have been
reluctant to step into it as what I want is a 5 figure investment for a hobby
and I believe it will distance me from the hands-on part of woodworking.
My potential initial project list includes a bunch of spindles to replace the
failing ones in my home. I also see a lot of value in an accurate, flexible,
and controllable (manually) XY router platform. Of course, the ornamental mill
itself is fascinating as well.
I just joined so I have a lot of old messages to look through and learn from
before I start asking questions and overstating the obvious.
