Legacy never sold a rotary table for Revo is BS unless the item shown in their instructions is non-produced.  It was smaller than the 900/1200/1800/1000 machines.  Richard, can you photograph your rotary table? ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​ On Aug 9, 2017, 5:05 AM, at 5:05 AM, Bawdsey64

Dexter,Very well done.  GREAT job.  Thanks for sharing.If you make another, give thought to flipping the board over and running a 60 degree V-groove bit down the centerline of each slot/vent opening.  That will allow for a bit better airflow through the slots and reduce backpressure in the

​Hi folks For your information I can confirm that the Legacy Tap that they still use to make the Split Nuts is about 7" long and was a Custom Made Unit according to Andy. Back then they were making a few thousand Split Nuts a year. Cheers Roger Sent from TouchMail for Windows 10

I agree all the legacy mills have their faults that need correcting but once you do you have very useful machines on your hands. That universal joint I believe was sold for the other models not the revo I had to make my own from a 3/8 drive socket set parts for my mills. The way I look at it

Roger I did not want to alter the Revo, as Martin was promised it back if I decided to sell it. Planing MDF is not a healthy thing to do unless well ventilated. I have been Routing a lot of Plywood and it upset me rather badly, a sore place on my face and a retching session, have just come back
