Hello and Good morning everyone. Thank you Joe for your views on this topic. I like the Shop Smith duplicator, like you said "to get into all the  "nooks" and "crannies",  I  like to think of it like this, you can Attack the wood at the proper angles to get the best results.The other two stiles

Hi Curt When I sent my last  message on the topic I had't read Mike's response. Undercutting can be done on the SS  but would require rotation of the router about the B axis.  Regards Ron   In a message dated 2/18/2018 12:19:56 PM Eastern Standard Time, legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com

Re: Re: Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

good morning gentlemen!...a couple of comments on templates and copying... we do quite a bit of multiples in our shop, mostly 4, 6, and 8...extremely rare if we do more than that of any one piece... over the years we have tried and used a few different types of copiers, all on our lathe, not

Re: Re: Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

Hi Curt I agree with your point. However, I think that the Shop Smith approach, where the copy follower is the same shape as the cutter, goes a long way in solving that problem. Regards, Ron   In a message dated 2/18/2018 12:57:25 PM Eastern Standard Time,

Hello again.along the lines of what is a template follower on the Legacy, The term is somewhat confusing.Most people think of the template follower as a way to make exact re-productions. On the LegacyI find this view is not exactly accurate, the template follower is a guide, as far as I see

Hello RonI like the idea. And cant wait to see what you come up with...Please take lots of pictures. C.A.G. On Sunday, February 18, 2018 9:20 AM, 'Ronald Kirchoff' via Legacy Ornamental Mills wrote: Hi CurtSorry for getting back to you so

Further thought on this...the spring loaded pen would be easy to make for those that have a Revo or the updated z axis or the updated template follower for the 900/1200/1800 models.  For those that don't know, those models use an aluminum block to hold a follower that had different sized dowel

Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

Hi Curt, I really like this idea as a practical solution for the case of creating spindles  by the seat of your pants on the legacy and then needing to reed or cove from the side.  I'm thinking a spring loaded sharpie holder would work great.  It can be mounted anywhere on the template

Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

Hello Ronaldusing the original is not as easy as you would think on the Legacy, the brackets are made to hold flat templates. If you could mount the original idiom on the brackets, then you are also limited as for spacing/ clearance of the follower. ONE other benefit of  using my suggested

Re: Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

Hi Curt Why not use the original as the pattern to follow. Mounting it to a set of brackets attached to the out side of the top rails. This is like the Shop Smith duplicator with the router attached to the duplicator arm.  Ron (the math guy)   In a message dated 2/3/2018 7:14:21 PM Eastern

you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill If I remember correctly, Legacy had several different sized template followers that would be mounted outboard to follow the template. Does anyone know the various sizes - and why you would use one size over another? Obviously

Do you use your template follower On your Legacy Ornamental Mill

Hello Everyone.an Idea cam to me today, (while driving home form work.)  I have not done this on my Legacy but have done it with my Lathe. The idea is to use the Template follower on the Legacy as a Template Maker to produce template that you can reproduce. If you put an already made spindle in
