Mike, I'm a vivid shade of green! That has GOT to be one of the neatest
bits of engineered equipment available for serious woodworkers. Next
best thing to a CNC machine, huh?

Please let us know how you like it and maybe post some pictures of the
projects.

I was in total awe at the stuff that is shown on the DVD. Ever since I
got a set of living room furniture by Schnadig, I've wondered how they
made the legs. One of the Legacy machines could have done them,
although I would guess that a large furniture mfgr. would use CNC's.

chance to use it yet.
There is a company in California that custon makes a lot of router bits for
the Legacy they also sell al lot of standard stuff and carry the complete
Amana line.

I saw this sucker at the WW show, but didn't have time to stay and watch
the demo. One of the salespeople slipped me a DVD which I just watched.
Now that's cool! Now I know how the legs of my Schnadig coffee table
were made. After having see that thing in action, I feel like using a
table saw and router table is more akin to Neandering.

I looked all through the CMT catalog and could not find a side cutting
router bit of the depth that they demoed the Legacy with. Anyone know
who makes a deep side cutting bit? It is piloted and sort of like a
rabbetting bit but narrower, with a sharper point and LONG.

If only I had the space and moola...

oh, anyone in Wreckland have one of the wonderous machines?

We bought one at the Woodworks show last month here in Indianapolis
and just got it all put together and set up. I am going to use it in
our classes. The main reason we bought it was to make taper bed post
for our cherry bed class. I am sure we will find other uses for it as
well. I am anxious to play with it and get some training time on it.
My friend Jim Crosbie from Timber Works has one and has used it on a
reagular bases. I am going to get Jim to train me...if he has the
time.
thanks,
Mike from American Sycamore

Dave,

The only thing that concerns me...Am I smart enough to fiqure out how
to run the machine and make it do what I want?. I have been at all
the Woodworks shows across the country promoting our school and I
watch the Legacy demo and talk with the salespeople to get as much
information as I can when I get a free minute or two.

I am looking forward when the shows are over and I have some shop
time. I am working the the Legacy people to come here to American
Sycamore and do a class and seminar on the machine!! take care,
Mike
