Apparatus for enabling a tool (5) to reproduce a pattern from a template (11) on a workpiece (9), the apparatus comprising a first support mechanism (1) which supports the tool (5) in a spaced relationship with a pattern follower (7), a second support mechanism (3) which supports the template (11) and the workpiece (9) in a spaced relationship which one another, the first and second support mechanisms (1, 3) being brought together in use such that the pattern follower (7) overlies the pattern on the template (11) and the tool (5) overlies the workpiece (9), wherein the first support mechanism (1) and the second support mechanism (3) are not connected to one another. The movement of the pattern follower (7) as it follows the pattern on the template (11) produces an identical movement of the tool (5) over the workpiece (9). |
