..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.

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.

I might just be better off using mine as is.

I've got an earlier version of this duplicator.

You are probably correct. 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.

...That takes care of that thought.
