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.

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 the
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.

Hi Curt
Sorry for getting back to you so late. I have been very busy and it doesn't
take much at 83. I was thinking of making "L" brackets mounted to the top back
rails.The brackets would have a slot in them for a sliding metal plate with a
threaded hole. A screw with a pointed end would thread
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 p
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 follower
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 metho
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.

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
