Larry Buskirk Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 ..Had me confused (Not hard to do lately) as to what a router lathe duplicator was until I watched the video. Now you've got me wondering how hard it would be to modify my Delta lathe duplicator to accept a powered cutting head. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never really happy with the finish I was getting in the turned pieces. Maybe I just didn't work at it long enough. It was a fun build, however. My new lathe is a lot different in size- not sure I want to go thru the trouble of redesign. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Buskirk Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I might just be better off using mine as is. I've got an earlier version of this duplicator. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rockwell-Delta-Wood-Turning-Duplicator-46-840-For-11-12-Wood-Lathes-CUSTOM/283719510635?hash=item420f002a6b:g:al0AAOSwYupd9TZu Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it difficult to get the tolerances and feed slack worked out. The one I made has everything "hand fed" and doesn't allow for very precise movements.
