HI Bill
Legacy did that on there clock molding. If I'm not mistaken?I agree with you,
but I don't think this is practical for most template work. On this topic I
have more questions then answers. I'm hoping someone in the group may come up
with something new/different form what we have done in the past? I find for
most problems all you need IS, A slightly different view of what is going on.
Mike has a quote that I like to use in these cases.
"Necessity is the Mother of ..." (everyone always, says "All inventions". His
reply is. ) No. Necessity is just a Mother! ;-)

Trouble with template following on the legacy is saddle movement or slop
So I think a closed template mounted as close to the router bit as possible
would be a good place to start also vertical following instead of horizontal
would help too just my opinion

Subject: The Legacy template follower?
Hello everyone.
Just wondering if any of you were looking at using the template follower any
time in the neat future?
I've been playing with the idea of re-making my follower again. (for the 4th or
5th time.)
The Template follower was something Legacy talked about, but never went into
any details on.
NOTE: I said Legacy, Phantom (woodchuck) made a video on this topic that was
very interesting.
But Once the Newer machine came around, they never re-made there videos on this
topic.
I think this was done for the main reason was to stop people form getting
confused on the topic, template following suggest something more, Like a copy
lathe, or lathe duplicator, which Legacy is not.
Form my own experience this is what I found.
I believe that the template is a guide/blue print of sorts, that will get you
to the rough shape you are looking to make. but It will not make an exact copy.
for a number of reasons,
But instead of Looking at what it will "not do". I want to look at what is
possible to use it for on the Legacy.
Things like fine detailed cutting form the side of the work, like reeding and
fluting, the template controls the depth of cut better then any router bearing
will ever do on the Legacy. Bearing guides are nice and simple, but it seam's
to all to often the bearing fall into a grove already made form a previse cut,
ruining your part. Once the Legacy's template is set up, this problem can not
happen. (or shouldn't happen, I don't want to challenge anyone to, purposely
mess up. to just try to prove me wrong.) ;-p
Router fence/systems for the router table, Like Joint tech. and Inca. worked
out a better way to make a precision cuts, using a router table. I'm thinking
of something similar could be done for the Legacy.
So what I'm asking is, For all of you to voice out your ideas, on how to make a
better Legacy template follower.
I know collectively we all can make something new, that might work better then
what we've got now.
Let's hear your ideas on this topic.
Have a good weekend everyone.
C.A.G.
