Hello BOB!
We have had a few conversations on this topic before. I just feel that
moving the follower to the front of the machine offers a lot of
advantages.
First off my machine is mounted on my work bench,so getting to the
back side of the machine is not all that easy for me.
The concept is pretty straight forward. (so to speak.) The problems
came with the details. I used the router as the way I attached the
follower to the Legacy, instead of the carriage (Like Legacy did.) The
main reason why I did it this way was, to get around (above actually)
the locking drive nut on the machine.It also makes in much easer to
remove when not in use.
I used a product called Uni-strut. to make my rail for my follower to
ride on. Simple "T"bolts and knobs hold the strut down onto the Legacy
rail, It was an easy and cheap way to get the job done.
Template following is an easy way to make more complex types of cuts
on the Legacy, slight curves and small radius are made very easily by
cutting from the side. Template also make fluting and reeding much
easer as well.
The use of templates is one element of the Legacy that I have not
fully covered in the past, I use template a lot on my lathe
duplicator,and it makes my life much easer because of them. I want to
explore more of the possibilities that are out there for us.(Legacy
users)
I think of it as the poor man's CNC. ;-)
Have a good night.
