I have a Legacy Ornamental Mill for sale. It is a great tool for making fancy spindle designs from small pen size to larger table leg size to walking stick size and many objects in between. It is kind of the opposite of a lathe. Material is moved in a slow controlled fashion into a high-speed cutting bit (router). There are several user groups and YouTube videos to help you get up to speed.
I would keep this machine except for the fact that it is large and my garage space is small. I have the itch for another machine (CNC) but I need space for this to happen. I also have an upcoming knee surgery so if I don’t sell it soon, I will probably take it off the market until I recover and am able to assist in showing and loading it.

As I stated above, I would keep this machine except for the fact that it is large and my garage space is small. I have the itch for another machine (CNC) but I need space for this to happen.
I also have an upcoming knee surgery so if I don’t sell it soon, I will probably take it off the market until I recover and am able to assist in showing and loading it.
These machines are kind of rare and were expensive when purchased. Considering all the carbide router bits and upgrades, I am asking $1600 or reasonable offer. You will need a few extra bodies and a big pickup or trailer to move it.
Thank you for considering it. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Email or phone calls only. NO TEXT MESSAGES.
