Subject: the Holy Grail of Legacy machines
okay guys, time to separate the men from the boys!... I was recently contacted
by someone who just obtained a Legacy 1500 and does not know anything about the
machine or how it works... and they are in the market to sell this Legacy...
here is a list of the "goodies"
1) CNC legacy upgrade package, not installed... most likely never installed...
with the software CDs!
2) 4X gear package upgrade... yes, 4X!... verified myself and with the
installation sheet
3) "Z" axis upgrade
4) rotary table with the flex piece to connect it to the head stock
5) Legacy aluminum rail base with casters
6) original lead screw drive motor with the controls and limit switches
7) nice Porter Cable router on it
8) practically every Legacy option you could ever imagine
9) I am sure there are router bits, just haven't gotten that far into the
inventory
I am guiding this person through the process, so no low ballers!... LOL!...
general location is the southwest United States... certainly photos will be
available, most likely tomorrow's postings... could use some assistance in
helping with a fair price for this person... for the record, I have no interest
myself(that remark is mostly directed to Mac!)... anyone can email me at
... or call my cell anytime 516-606-6627... once a fair price
has been offered I will give the contact info of the seller and I am then
backing away... just trying to help someone who reached out to me... ok guys,
let's see where this goes... regards... Joe Biunno

Re: leadscrew tap
Some info on this subject... I made my own tap from a left over piece of acme threaded rod I had from one of my Legacy mods... very simple to do... approximately 4-5 inches long, I tapered the end much like a starting tap would be tapered, cut a single flute to do the cutting of the thread and it worked very well in some black Teflon-like material I got from McMaster-Carr... the material was very inexpensive... I don’t understand why to make the nut out of wood... in my opinion, the wood will not last as long as the Teflon would... and brass is not a viable substitute, IMHO... need to be very careful not to wear out the lead screw, as that is not so easy to replace... better to wear out the nut than the lead screw... the black plastic material is very well suited for the job and is not expensive... just my two cents on the subject... and this was posted by me a while ago... perhaps two to three years ago...
