The biggest limitation with the crossing cut is actually the approach to
the wood. You have infinitely variables to blade choice when you are
working on a straight cut, tapered or not, milling from the top
centered. Then if you are trying to make a ball or pineapple shape, you
will need to mill from the side. In this position, the only way you
will be able to come around the profile is going to be with a Y-axis
template follower. The most common bit to use on this type of a cut
will be a ball bit. Then if you are all into jigs like Bill, you will
be able to tilt the router to match the pitch and get a rope pattern if
you desire, to follow around the curve of the ball. Your legacy is only
a good place to start, insert craftsman and watch the magic.

Yea Mac it depends on the preference of the person doing the pattern I
searched all through my legacy pics to find the different examples of each
One looks like a cut diamond shape all strait and the other has the
rounded pineapple look like the outside of one
Looking through all the old legacy videos they seem to always call the
strait sided ones done with the V bit diamond
and the ones with the rope bit pineapple and sone times they say rope
or pineapple pattern but they are different when you look close

Bill,
Very nice of you to post that - much appreciated.
For some of the examples of the "diamond" carve it appears to be
fairly close to the pineapple - and on the others you can definitely
tell the difference.
Cheers
Mac

Subject: difference between a pineapple pattern and a dimond pattern
A few days ago I was discussing different legacy spindle patterns with
someone and the subject of diamond and pineapple patterns came up
And I was asked is there any difference well yes there is each one is
milled with a different router bit and I don’t think this has ever
been addressed here before, the pineapple pattern is milled with rope
molding router bits while the diamond pattern is milled with strait V
groove router bits
Here is a sheet showing the difference.
Bill
