What book is the jig in? Thanks! I saw the Legacy being demoed at a woodworking show a while back and I was very impressed. It looks very cool and can do a lot, from turning spindles to tapers, spirals, and even milling wide, flat stock. It is a great idea, but I simply can't afford it. The Revo is their economy version but it is $800. Too bad! nrChris - I’d DEFINITELY be interested. What book is the jig in? Thanks!

If anyone is super interested, I can dig out the book so you can look it up. There are plans for a jig that accomplishes many of these same actions–it was in a cheap router book that I have at home.
