Creating a beautiful table leg on a lathe is a joy. But creating three more absolutely identical to it is a daunting task. But here comes a tool that will do it for you. After initial assembly, which is kind of detailed, you'll be ready to copy anything you can turn. It's imperative to follow the setup directions exactly (and the video is more help than the written directions), because if you're off even a fraction of an inch in your initial setup, you're assuring yourself of errors. After that, though, using it is just as much a joy as turning the original piece. Don't dismiss it as diminishing the art of the craft, either, because the duplicator can be controlled by hand. There are a number of accessories, too, that we like, including the spiral attachment and the router bracket, which easily lets you create fluted contour pieces. It's easy to use and, we admit, fun, too. And it will turn out as many copies of your original piece or any template for years to come. We think it's the perfect investment for the serious turner or furniture builder.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews

Nicely Done
....I find that this is a very nicely engineered tool. It is easyto set up after watching the video, though the written instructionsare poor. Some of the non-essential parts are poorly machined, but this does not effect their performance, just their asthetics. I would recommend this tool for anyone who would like a duplicator regardless of the lathe that you own. With a little help from Vega and Amazon, my duplicator fit my vintage Oliver lathe perfectly.

Looks Good
I have just received it but have not used it so far. It looks really good the only thing which seems like a short cut on the manufacturers part, didn't paint the attachment brackets. Raw steel. I hope to use this in a while and find, what all I can do with it. Now if you are doing research on it and want to know what comes with it. The amazon price only includes the copier. No router attachment no spiral attachment and a couple other options they have for this unit. Here is a site where you can find some attachments for this unit. http://tool-corral.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/page82.html Here is an other website who has more attachments but more pricey. http://www.packardwoodworks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=lathes-dup-vp . Here is an other one with features being explained. http://www.vegawoodworking.com/ld.html. I have not found the motor attachment to have the copier do the turning by itself. If you find it, can you email me with the info? flyingawaytoday@ymail.com
