Hay Bill!
I agree. What I find neat about his machine is first the robust elements of his
unit. What I see there should not be any play with in his
slides/glides/bearings. With the double screw drive of the carriage, his
movement is Rock solid. (and I have never seen a screw anything like that
It is interesting, but it makes me appreciate the legacy he can only seem to do
one pitch and only right hand spirals we can do many and both ways. We have a
sliding tailstock for many lengths of work his seems to only do the one length.
But for a dedicated spiral maker for that one job
This is one Heavy duty machine! It looks like it could twist the wood with
out a router. ;-p I have no idea if he made his machine or bought it.
Having said that I find this machine something unique.

Bill I came up with an idea.
Lumberjocks gives the E-mail address of the person, I sent his gentelman a
invite to our group. and will start doing so with every Legacy user on there
web site. Perhap that way we can get some new blood moving with in our group.
more latter.

I have a feeling this guy might have made this machine himself just by looking
at its construction and also his other machines are painted the same colour and
have the same strong robust look to them as well
If this is so then milling those metal spirals it follows would be interesting
Bill
How long and thin is your work. I'm spiralling stair spindles 2 inches dia and
3 ft long and it needs a steady or chatter is a real problem
Also don’t try and hog it all out at once a few cuts with a light finishing cut
I find works well and for smoothing I use a sanding mop to
Smooth things up
