Hi Tim I agree that moving the table is easier than the router.That was the concern on the gears as well the router movement which is a matter of push and pull with a lot of slide friction. However to keep the router fixed and move the table to provide the full capability of the spirograph is

Hi Tim What I was suggesting is take a spirograph mechanism and attach it to a pattern board mounted to the backside of the legacy like a template. Now mount a work piece between the rails on a work table it doesn't have to be the rotary table. Now in the standard spirograph set up the stator

This is getting interesting. I did all of my original tests with the y axis at 0. As you offset the y-axis in the negative direction, or towards you, that teardrop shape gets smaller and starts to change into a wave. Controlling where they go is whole new problem. It would be really nice
