Hello BOB!!! ;-)
I try to never tell someone that "IT" can't be done.
From my own experiences, if someone tells me that something cant be done, it
normally makes me look even harder at the problem, in the hope that I can
prove them wrong.
As far as the Legacy go's, This machine dose some realy great things, but it
is not the all purpose tool for everything. and I realy believe the dove
tails are just one of those types of cuts, that would be better suited for
another machine.
I am glad to see that you were able to make your goal, YOU DID IT! ;-) . Now
lets move on. What's Next??? What is your next project?
I can't wait to see it!
And TAKE LOTS of pictures! ;-)
Have a good night.
C.A.G.

Subject: Re: fancy dovetail joints
i made a template for the legacy for making dovetails and used the
vises that came with it to hold the work pieces and it worked very
well but like curt told me at the time there are easier ways it took
me some time to write the program to make the template and it is only
good for one type of joint i just wanted to do it because legacy
advertises it as capable of doing dovetails in the end i bought the
fast joint system from mlcs and it is very easy to use a no brainer
to set up and their tech support is friendly and available bob

Hey Bill,
Thank god I'm not the only one that has a dial indicator sitting next to
his
legacy. I admit to using it for getting the diameters right before I
invented the TK Bed Height Tool. I've only used it a couple of time on the
x and y travel. I was trying to do some really fine lines like knurling on
flat stock.
Have fun,
-Tim
