Thank's Joe.Merry Christmas to you as well.For me the Z axis is what I want,
(of a matter of coarse longer bed would also be nice.) but I too am NOT a CNC
type of person. (Sometimes I have problems just running this E-mail stuff.) ;-p
unless I plan to do wood working as a business in the future, Then perhaps a
CNC would be necessary, but as for now, I'm out NO Way No How am I going to
play with that...
As far as the 2000/2200 on E-bay, I have e-mailed him twice asking if he had
the gears sets. NO REPLY from him. That would be an awesome machine to own if
its all there! I too have no idea on why its still on E-bay.It has been there
for a LONG TIME, Perhaps it the distance/shipping cost problem ? Perhaps its
just a money thing? (He thinks his machine is worth $75,000 and we think its
worth $75.00...) ;-)
Have a very Happy Holiday.

hey Curt!... well, a few things to consider... he does say that there are
gears, just that they were never installed... when I purchased my used, 1800
Legacy, it was the opposite of this ebay machine... my machine was setup as a
manual machine and all of the CNC upgrade kit was there, but never installed...
so I wonder if Legacy sent out there CNC machines with both options, manual and
CNC... of course, it would be wise to ask the seller for additional photos to
see what "gears" he is referring to, and how complete are the gears... and also
if the pieces are there that hold the gears and attach to the headstock... I
never realistically gave it any consideration to set up my CNC equipment, as I
never intended to do any hard core, repetitive work(and I have no computer
programming expertise at all!)... so to answer the question, I would set it up
as a manual machine... other points to consider, how much?... starting bid is
$3,000, is there a reserve?... take away the CNC option, is it worth the
price?... there are other 1800's selling for less(with a "make an offer"
option!)... and why that Legacy 2000(or is it a 2200?) in California has not
sold yet is a mystery to me...it has been on the market for a couple of years,
I believe... it's asking price is less than this 1800 and it also has a "make
an offer" option... and one knock I heard on the older-type legacy CNC's, was
that all of the lead screws were very slow in operation... and why Legacy came
out with a rack-and-pinion upgrade... I have never seen that upgrade in person
or a photo of it, but it did speed things up quite a bit, from what I was able
to find out... and last, but not least, is the inevitable "where is it and what
is it going to cost to go get it" factor... anyway, wouldn't be a bad thing to
find under the Christmas tree, so I guess it comes down to if you have been
good or bad this year!... LOL!... Merry Christmas Eve guys!... enjoy the
holidays... Joe B.
