Wow Bill,
That's a real sign of a craftsman if you can over come the crude measuring
of the legacy and all of the slop. I never thought it was really
practical
in the machines basic form. I've heard other talk about using generic
template and mounting them to the template follower, but I don't know if
it's a common or practical practice on the legacy.
After watching a few videos on youtube about the Incra LS, I really like
the
idea of using 32 tooth per inch rack and a lock to gain incremental
accurate
movements. I can see one mounted on the y-axis. Maybe even a short one
on
the template follower. Every day there is something new to learn. This
idea
could solve my mini moves problem. I guess I need to go look for some
rack
now. I'd be happy with 16 or even 8.

I have never really wanted the incra dove tail jig I do any dovetails on
the
legacy imcluding the contrasting wood
as explained its just a matter of doing it twice once with the differant
color wood then once dry again a little smaller with the joining piece

Hi Mac
Go look on the INCRA website and you will find out how simple it is to
make, alternatively ring me in the morning and purchase an INCRA LS 17
WFNCSYS Jig, available now in metric or Imperial measurement system.
Alternatively give it a little thought, two different coloured timbers
glued and joined using dovetail joint, then when set cut the width of
the coloured detail line required and remake the dovetails. It is
actually simple, just like live when you know how and with a INCRA Jig
anyone can make them if I can, even Bill down in oz who could call my
mate Grahame at Professional Woodworkers Supplies and by an INCRA
locally!
Best regards
Roger
