Thanks for the welcome, folks! I'll get some pictures up soon, but I have been searching the net at various places, and have figured out how to make my own split nuts. I need the one (both parts) for the long lead screw. Interestingly enough, the broken parts I have don't fit. If I put the nut

What do you mean by no z-axis mechanism? Are you missing the whole carriage? The router plate? On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 12:29 AM, o2pi...@gmail.com wrote: Oh, I didn't answer all the questions- :) I found it on CL, and I'm in southern California. On Sunday, January 5, 2014 9:19:20 AM

Good morning Steve. Legacy still sells the split nut. I'm sure you could buy one form them. If not? perhaps one of our members here could help you out on this problem? Steve If you could post some pictures of your machine, then Perhaps we could help.(they say a picture is worth 1000 words.)

The split nut base for the x and y axis are different for the 900. If the previous owner sourced the parts from a model 1000, they are also different. Did you call legacy and ask for the split nut components? -Tim - Original Message - From: o2pi...@gmail.com To:

Hi Tim, Heh, heh, I got the thing with the carriage assembled like that. I never noticed that in the few pictures I've managed to find online. That I can fix. That will make the split nut I have line up, but won't fix the broken part. I notice that the stand also doesn't have the leveling

If you have not figured it out yet, the left and right hand gears control the direction of the spiral. I think what curt is seeing in the corner of the box is just a face plate, not a legacy component. The tools are all standard allen wrenches. The manual should answer a lot of questions.
