Wouldn't it be nice if some ingenious character worked with Legacy to obtain permission to begin manufacturing and selling parts they no longer provide? A niche business opportunity.

Even when I went after the predecessor the WC I dug untilmy head hurt. (Mike Pung and I had many discussions.) Later joining theforum I got to know Curtis George. I had many more discussions with CurtisGeorge. Thanks again for so much support Curt & Mike. So once I foundthe 1200 LOM and talked to Cindy from LOM, extensively she gave me thecompany's name of where we can still get rails etc... I'm not exactlysure how to verify the rail style as you mentioned some are different thenothers. So the company is80-20 inc. web site is www.80-20inc.com https://8020.net 844-802-0932 phone servi...@80-20inc.com Big boys dreamfrom what I can see. You can even buy it by the foot so in my case I'm going tomake the small piece support for running narrow moulding. Hope this helpssomeone. Kindregards, Tim of ZWWS Kind Regards, Timothy J.

Do an Internet/BING search for this - you'll be amazed. I find that the plastic Folgers and Maxwell House coffee canisters are labeled#2 - as are most milk jugs. The two coffee brands yield red and blueplastic respectively. My thought is that you embed a matching Acme rod into the mold you melt the #2plastic in. Once cooled, you should be able to "unscrew" the rod fromthe plastic billet. You then cut/machine the billet to the exteriormeasurements you need and then split it down the center line. "Machining" can be done with your router, bandsaw, etc. Does anyone have an idea of how well the #2 plastic (HDPE) will hold up? Even if it wears down after 6 months of use - you will be able to reuse thatworn out piece, with some added #2 plastic, and melt/mold a new piece. Ifyour mold & billet is long enough, you can produce a year's-worth in onemold. If anyone tries this - or something similar, please share pictures and results.
