February 12, 20205 yr ..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.

Now you've got me wondering how hard it would be to modify my Delta lathe duplicator to accept a powered cutting head. I see Alex has improved his build somewhat. 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.
February 12, 20205 yr 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
