I have had occassion to correspond by email and discuss by telephone the status of Legacy Ornamental Mills 900, 1200, etc. The reason for my inquiry was that the "mobility kit", i.e., the 5 inch casters, on my 900 were losing sections of their tread and I wanted replacements. My initial inquiries went unanswered, and so I found adequate repalcements from Woodcraft in the form of 3 inch casters. However, this inquiry seemed to get my name in Legacy's database as someone interested in their CNC machines. I explained to John in sales that I am retired in my 70s and although I at one time designed computers and find CNC machines quite interesting, I can make enough sawdust with my manual machines in my shop. What I really wanted to know was whether we, as owners of their manual machines, had been orphaned and could not look to Legacy for support in the form of replacement parts and accessories. What I was told was that as a result of the 2007 recession, a number of Legacy's suppliers had gone out of business. That was the reason I could not get replacement casters. I was also told that their supplier for the custom aluminum extrusions had gone out of business, which was the reason that they were no longer making manual machines. However, I was also told that Legacy was "re- engineering" their manual machines, and John implied that there would be an announcement in the near future to that effect.
