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 if the mills were all well machined and all slick they would be much more expensive to buy in the first place and out of reach of most hobby woodworkers like their cnc mills are now. I don’t blame the dog breeder because his dog he sold me won’t do any tricks and craps all over my carpet you have to train it your self and in the end, end up with a great animal. Hang in there buddy fix up the mills design faults and like a diamond in the rough end up in my opinion with a great little jewel of a machine.

Tried to remove it to find out the problem, it was quite difficult to get off owing to the burs on the round shaft. Why no flat for the grub screw to clamp on.????? Next---, went to fit the Universal joint to the spindle drive. did not go on far enough---------- the round part of the drive had score marks because of the fact that the recess in the Uni joint was not deep enough.I then checked the main rod of the Uni joint. Have Legacy never heard of a milling machine and the fact that one should not grub screw to round shafts. As you say it is a great little machine but it seems I am spending far too much putting Legacy's shoddy workmanship to rights. It seems to me over the years they are in too much of a hurry to bring out a new model, instead of making the first one properly. Hence feeling a bit peed off at the moment.

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 from the Doctor. Even though I was wearing a mask the air was polluted for a long long time Am now thinking of selling the Revo and all the bits that came with it. as Martin does not now want it back..

Roger & Out! Sent from <http://bit.ly/1PH8eIw> TouchMail for Windows 10 From: Richard Ellis Received: 06/08/2017 17:02:42 +01:00 To: Legacy Ornamental Mills Today I fitted my Rotary Table to the Revo. It does not seem to have much height for hollowing out bowls ----only 21/4 "--- The other thing I have found ,the waste board, it's 3/4 " thick and appears to have been glued on. I can not see any woodscrews holding it,,. Is that normal ? If I put a thinner waste board I could gain another half inch. Is there another way of lowering the table ?
