My height tool uses 3/16” stainless steel. The old models (1000/1500) all had round holes that you used as a visual check. Then you would measure all the corners at least once to make sure the bed was level. The newer machine used the same visual method and measurement. I developed my version only for the 900’s because at the time only standing models of the 1200/1800 where being sold. With the added acme screw on both ends it was easier to set the bed. You still had to measure the four corners to make things flat enough.
Enter my height tool. It uses twice the amount of locations then the old models but the real innovation was using the rods. When placing the rods in the brackets, you are able to let the bed rest on a repeatable location. Then simply tighten the bed down. No need to check all the corners. They will always be in the same place. Hope that helps.

My guess why they started making this design, is simply there new laser could do the job quicker (Time is money.) On the older machines many of the parts were punched out, with a press. The laser could do the same jobs (even if so, they were a little different) faster and cheaper then the old ways of making there machines. I would also like to point out, it wasn't but a few years after Legacy started using a CNC laser, until they making everything CNC, and drooped the manual line all together. C.A.G.

But I am interested as to why the slots were put there. I am sure Legacy did not just put them there for no good reason. Did you see my old post when I showed the adjustment for the Revo?
