David,
I dont know a lot about them but the copying tool holder usually follows a template of the design you want to produce. The general word of mouth in woodturning circles (pun) is they will follow a general outline but are not real good at sharp detail.
Some pics of the copying parts would help. There have been a few posts on this in the past so have a browse. There will be a few on here that have tried one and can tell you more.
Regards
John
