RE: Legacy 900 for sale

The only drive gear I see is the "A" gear - in the drawer - 5th photo.  Assume there's another drive gear in the "drive train" as set up.
So that makes two.  I don't see the other five - although they could be hidden under some of the stuff in the drawer (5th photo).
Looks like there are both the Left & Right directional gear units - one in the gear train and the second in the drawer (5th photo).
Yes - a great deal - with all those router bits and including the router.
Somebody near Chi-raq will get themselves a nice Mill.

It is a 900 with the ball bearing headstock so it’s more likely a late model since it also has the longer aluminum rail on the y axis.  This allowed the owner to update to the z-axis upgrade. The leadscrew in the front has ball bearings so that also points to a late model. The legs are an accessory as is the router bit holder that is mounted in the front.  No rotary table but there is a circle cutter in the drawer. They also have the extended pattern follower.

 

It’s a screaming deal if you ask me.

Interesting listing.  Thanks for posting it, Curt. 

 

He does state: 

"Photo is stock if you are interested let me know and I can get more detailed photos."

 

That leads you to think there's only one photo - a "stock" one.  I think the first photo (which is NOT his Mill) is one he cut-pasted from the internet.  It could be one owned by a Group member.

 

He has since posted "more photos" - and they are most likely of the Mill he is selling.  I think it is a fairly "early model" 900(?) - looks like a "Steely".

Any guesses/ideas as to which specific model it is?

 

To their credit, it appears that he/she USED their Mill quite a bit - based upon the various turnings we see in the last two photos.  They also are including quite a few router bits - many of which appear to be Magnate. (Seller should give more info/details on them.)

 

Look at the spindles in the next to last photo - it is the one with 4 taller turnings and two shorter ones. 

I have never seen a turning like the tall one on the far right.  It is much different than any others I have seen posted anywhere - to include in our Group.

Has any member turned one like this one?  How did you do it - What bits, etc.?

 

I hope the current owner is a member of our Group and will enlighten us.  Also - if you are - Best of luck with your FaceBook sale and tell whomever buys it about our Legacy Ornamental Mill Group.  They will appreciate what they can pick up on/learn here.

 

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Mac
