Hi Curt, I hate to call you out on this, but the wave attachment / TK Reciprocator is not our exclusive item. As you know, it was inspired by the Atkinson Reciprocator. What makes it unique to our group is the ease of using a router to cut the pattern. When can cut it deeper than the traditional equipment. We can make the pattern on larger pieces, but I'll never claim that it is exclusive.
Now what has not been revealed by myself is that the reciprocator does not have to be mounted on the duplex gear. It can be mounted on the leadscrew as well. One iteration of my design used that method. It's also possible to make changes to the pattern as rarely discussed by changing the number of teeth on the duplex gear. I did also have a method of of creating a fool proof DNA pattern based on flipping the adjustment rail 180 degrees. That way tooth count and marking of the gears would not be needed. Since it was such a limited use feature, I never got around to implementing it. Hey Richard, I'm still not seeing the picture. Did you attach it? You want to know what I think regarding making it more fancy? You made a pattern that I have never dreamed possible and your asking me? I have not made anything with the reciprocator for over 5 years! MAYBE its time to revisit the device from a different set of parameters like you are thinking. I do think that Bill is correct in saying 90 degrees of twist is the maximum. It would depend on the pitch mostly, not the amplitude. Again, it's something I would have to look at again, but it's very low on my list of things to do. Probably right next to the colonoscopy! Hahahaha.
