Re: Producing an ellipse
Tanks Bill I own a pin router, and your last video makes we want to go out an play with it, Right NOW! ;-) You know, if you use a little bit of all of these videos. make your self a template and try to use the Legacy's template follower, it just might work out for you Roger? I wish you all luck on this one. Please keep on posting your ideas. this is a neat topic.

Re: Producing an ellipse
Hello Roger If you are talking about an elliptical turning jig like what an Ornamental lathe dose, Ive been working on this idea for a number of years. (Here is a good video on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAoM-CRZBNY ) But sadly I have not been able so far to get the same type of attachment to work on my Legacy. But having said that, I have found out a number of different ways to make elliptical turnings using the Legacy in the past. So you have stated, templates work well on the Legacy, (form both the template follower, and well as using a template following router bit and using the Legacy like a Pin router...) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9D_AzR1Hcs like this video dose.) I wish you luck on this project. Please let us know your project turns out.

Re: Producing an ellipse
Hi Roger Glad you got it home I would love to have a good look at it. May get some ideas that I can use on my woodchuck. I often have a ride out to parts of the U.K. Went up to the Dales last week very scenic ( for the U.K. ) Cheers richard On Thursday, October 13, 2016 at 9:35:30 AM UTC+1, ITwoodwork wrote: > > Has any one in the group any suggestions for producing an ellipse on a > flat board WITHOUT USING A TEMPLATE OR DOING IT FREEHAND.
