Hi, My name is Dharma, I'm a new member in Portland, OR. I recently bought a used Legacy 800 mill with rotary table. My initial online search didn't turn up much on Legacy mills, beyond old marketing material, so I'm happy to find this group.
I'm a bit of a jack of all trades (woodworking, metalworking, carpentry, handyman,...). I first got inspired by woodworking in 3rd grade (bowl carving and wooden sword making). I have been building things ever since. My space for a home shop has been limited, so I have generally built small projects. Also, my woodworking has been on and off with shop access, or being sidetracked with remodeling projects, family life, etc. In a high school vocational program, I got exposure to metalworking and machining. I noticed how machining skills really translated over to woodworking skills. I fantasized about building some kind of router milling table for wood. I was impressed by a legacy mill at a woodworking show, probably 15 yrs ago, but definitely wasn't in the budget. I was psyched to find a deal on one recently. It's a stretch to find room for it in my single car garage shop. But, i"ll make it work. It may hang on or lean against the wall when not in use. I have played with it a little bit and it is a lot of fun. It seems like the potential for flat milling wasn't fully developed from the factory. A table and clamping system for milling joinery in flat stock is high on my list for improvements. I stumbled on some you tube videos by Russ Veinot, that had some helpful examples.
