A lot of the newer Legacys (made in the 2000's) lol use a rub stylus tofollow the pattern. You will either have to wax up the pattern realgood or make one like I have on the WoodChuck (last century) It uses abearing to follow the pattern. Have a look herehttps://youtu.be/LI_QyBna7Ac?t=118


Mike OK

So my thinking with the wiper motor would be to adjust a drive armsimilar to what Curt's wave attachment does.Maybe have to use a threaded rod etc.... This stemmed from Mac'squestion and what has been floating around inmy head. I've got the fever super bad Mike what do I do Feed the feverwith more LOM right.

Did you find me a Revo yet lol. or a 200?
Anyway hope all is well your way and so back to the Template follower:

Are there some videos on that? I took mine off as it was more in theway then I used it.but if I understand that it actually works without hanging up ordragging I may be tempted to

apply it more.
I guess I'm trying to sell myself into using it if it's practical.

    Wiper motor would work if it was just one semi random pattern but
    would not be able to set another cut next to it with any consistency.

    Yes, the "Y" tension would be a manual tensioning but I would use
    the drive screw to make sure I had a consistent cut as well as
    consistent start and stops if they are required.  If you are just
    running off the edge of the board, then the stops are not as
    necessary.

    Hey Mike,
    Don't you have to manually follow the template follower?
    How small of a wave could you create?
    I want to put a Windshield wiper motor on it to get the same
    concept as the wave for the small tight patterns If I were going
    to do it??
    Thoughts???

        I guess one easy way to get a zig-zag on flat work is to just
        use the "Y" axis pattern follower.  Just sayin'

        Hey Mac.
        Depending on your intent. a Zig Zag pattern can be made on
        the Legacy using the template follower on flat wood. The
        Wave attachment is a easy tool to make.

        IF anyone wants to make there own, its easy to do, and a lot
        of fun to use. I can give a step by step directions on how I
        made what I did.
        You can see by looking in our archives, all three Wave
        attachments (Bill's, Tim's and mine) look different, but all
        work on the same concepts, There is no reason anyone can't
        make there own, Who knows perhaps you will find a better way
        of getting the job done.
        There is ALWAYS more than one way to get any job done.
        I wish you luck.
        If you want help, I can do that too. ;-)

        Cool idea, but heres what we have to consider. The wave
        works on revolving the spindle being turned partially.

        But I've been thinking about this too but have not had it
        come to my head but we need to had something similar that

        would move the router back and forth instead of the spindle
        turning if it's going to be square. Or are you thinking round?

        Windshield wiper motors would make a very cool start to
        moving the router carriage???????

            To Group members with Wave Machines (Tim K, Tim Z, Bill,
            Curtis, and others?),

            The waves that ya'll have made are really nice - Thanks
            for sharing them.

            Curtis is always telling us to "Think outside of the
            box" - so here goes!:

            I got to thinking - I wonder if/how the Wave Machines
            (devices?) would perform on boards that are mounted to
            the various sizes of Pilaster "dogs(?)".

            Just a crazy thought - and since I do not own a Wave
            Machine - nor Pilaster Dogs - I figured I toss this out
            for your consideration.

            I plan to order a set of Pilaster Dogs from Legacy
            sometime in the next 3 to 6 months.  If a Group Member
            has a set they don't need/want/ or that's extra - let me
            know.  We should be able to work something out instead
            of me ordering from Legacy.

            Thanks - for your time and consideration of my crazy
            thought.

            I hope to see some really nice results.

            Mac
