Re: Height of Mill
Hello and Good morning. If I can put in my two cents worth here. I 1000ex. is also a table mounted machine, I put my unit on a set of slides and my machine is mounted on the top of my work bench, when not in use the machine is slid to the back of the bench, and when I want to use it, I slide to the front. My machine is a bit higher then most, basically due to the work bench's height. the top of my rails are 4' off the ground. (I'm 5' 11") I find that I like watching the spindles turn with out having to do a lot of bending. (my machine is with in my normal range of vision standing straight up) What I am getting at here is , Jim what ever height you make you r machine, it will become yours. and no matter what height you make it,The machine has to be conferrable for you to use it. One more note, I have a bar stool in my shop, I like to sit on that stool and watch my machine cut, .The bar stool is higher, so when I sit on it, my range of vision is the same as when I stand. Good luck on your stand. and Please let us know how it turns out for you. ;-) C.A.G. - Original Message - From: "rookie" <speedif...@sbcglobal.net> To: "Legacy Ornamental Mills" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 4, 2017 11:33:30 PM Subject: Re: Height of Mill I should have noted that the height I gave was the 900 stand with the Legacy mobile wheels.

Re: Height of Mill
Hi Jim I have a 900 and I have the 900 Legacy Legs on mine and I think the height is OK but the legs are not very substantial. As to the height I think the centre line of Head & Tail Stock needs to be about halfway between your waist line and your eye line or if you have a lathe then use that as an indicator. Ideally you want to be able to see what you're working on without having to stoop.
