Hello Jeff, I thought I replied to you, but after looking an this posting I can find the reply.
Depending on which machine I am using. both of my Legacy's use a ball bearing set ,1/2" as the follower.
My lathe uses different shaped followers depending on the cutter that I am using.
As I see it the Lathe is for exact coping/fine details, where the Legacy is for just basic shapes. details can be
added with the Legacy, but those details are done with the router bits profile. so as long as my templates are true
to the spindle, they do not need to be beyond just basic shapes.
Note: having said that, I use both machine together on most of my projects.
At this time, I am using my 200 more then my 1000, This is because of two reasons. First the 200 is made for smaller
turnings, I can cut/rope finer on my 200 then I can do on my 1000 ( note: not only size, but the 200 has a finer acme screw drive. 5/8-8 and the
1000 has a 5/8-4 acmes screw.) But for larger turnings 1000 is the king of the shop. and for very large turnings the lathe is the master.
(I can turn up to 8' on my lathe) BUT having said that, for what I normally do/make in the shop I can use and do use all my tool together to get
the best quality of workmanship as I can.
I hope this helps explain what I am doing, and answers your questions.
I made another 4 templates over the last two days.
If I can get my shop wormed up today, I hope to be able to be able to play with some of these new templates.
Wish me luck. ;-) and talk to you more later.
NOTE: I am adding two pix. of my fine adjustment/template follower that I made for my 200
Have a good day.

Nice, thanks for sharing Curt.
What do you use for a stylus to contact the template?

Hello Everyone.
I had some free time today, so I made these templates for my Legacy, Only one has been tested so far, but I do think most of these should work well for my uses.
I can use these templates on All of my wood working equipment, both of my Legacy's as well the lathes I own.
Note: I see and use templates not as the final part of turning, but as a general guide for basic shaping of my spindles.
Making stainless steel templates is not all that hard, by using an abrasive cutting wheel, and some hand files + a wire wheel to remove any burs... the process is pretty easy. (If anyone wants to know more, Please ask.)
Tomorrow I hope to be able to try some of these out on some of my bone turning.
Have a good night everyone.
C.A.G.
