RE: My 1200 - Accessories: Template Follower

[M.W.Foscue]

Thanks Bill,

Good idea.  Not really necessary to be out of metal (the one I have is brass) unless, perhaps you are doing significant production work and can't afford for it to wear down - throwing the item being made out of tolerance.  Although, one should be able to turn one out of aluminum on the LOM (and brass too?) if you very carefully use a carbide cutter.

I don’t know mac I make my own I would assume you would have to get them made I wouldn’t be beyond making them out of really hard wood or plastic on the legacy or wood lathe

You need several sizes of stylises the styless you use must be the same dia as the router bit your cutting with or your reproduction won’t be exactly the same.

I have the makings of a template follower as you can see in this photo.  As you can see I have the follower and the Stylus Adjustment Plate.  While there is no dust port hole in the follower near the router carriage like shows in the legacy literature, I do have a wholly different aluminum plate with a plastic 3" dust port that does n't seem to fit anywhere with what you see in this picture.  And, obviously I do not have the the 1/2" brass and hardened steel stylus that fits in that aluminum block on the stylus adjustment plate.

 

Finally, I also do not Template Rail Mounting Kit.  None of it.  That's not a killer as it can probably be improvised somewhat easily.

 

So I will be getting back with the gut I bought it from to see if it's laying around somewhere gathering dust.  Seems strange that the follower is on the router carriage but the rest of the assembly is missing.

 

Anyway, after getting everything else, you all kn ow how it is, you REALLY want all the pieces to complete the collection of accessories.
