This Lathe Duplicator will copy anything! 

Nice jig

What a difference a year makes...Hats off once again.

Great job! Especially love your efforts at dust collection

That is really slick. Well done.

Super,alles perfekt konstruiert!

Very nice video. I use a legacy ornamental mill with a router. Keep up the great videos

Pretty ingenious.

Nice work.

The 80/20 profile would be handy on this fixture. Working on a jig to suit a trim router with Minitec profile that has a delrin slide. Thought slide bearings might get fowled with chips but your Vac system seems to have eliminated that - Nice.

Great video! I need to make one of those. Have any plans or sketches? Thanks! 👍

Very cool. Do you have any rough plans available for this?

One thing that occurred to me is that if you rotate the router head 45 degrees. This would use the corner of a square rod as the reference point instead of round, but would still allow you to use a conventional end mill. Actually, if you had the pattern under the central axis of the lathe, you could set up a ruled stop for the pattern which could be set for dimensional accuracy. In addition, with the follower directly under the bit, you can set up followers that are the same shape as the cutters themselves. While I can see a concern for getting chips in the way, any would cause the follower to run proud and you will just need to run another pass once the chips and dust are cleaned (ie. it will fail safe). Just some thoughts.

I have in my mind something similar to yours. I already have the linear motion bearings and a dedicated deWalt router. Interesting your option to use HSS tools. Congratulations!!

Awesome attachment! I will be building one too, but I'm planning on mounting the router over the lathe bed. I won't be using any lead screws just moving the router by hand with the router following a template.

Tremendous work! I am now a subscriber and have rung the bell so will look forward to future videos. So many questions to I would ask but I will just ask two. Would you consider doing a walk through on how you built the attachment and why you made some of the decisions you did? And... did you try a cove box bit (vs. a straight bit) in the router straight on for a rough pass before switching to the carbide cutter? If so, how did that work?

If you add a step motor and 2 movable limit switches, then you could drive your router, evenly, and have a better cut.

Do you have any plans for this? I have an old monotube lathe that I would like to get more use out of before purchasing a new lathe that is more capable

Have a look at Hunter tool systems. They have a small cutter that way more effective at removing lots of material than the typical detail cutter. They stay sharper for far longer too because they cut instead of scrape like the typical flat carbide tool.

I see stepper motors and an arduino in your future 😊

Nice job. I also like your bed extension, have you howe that before? Scott

What brand lathe do you have?

Isn’t the pic of the chair you’re duplicating by Thomas Moser?

Hello. In this video of yours, I noticed that you have made an extension of the lathe. If there is a video of how you did it, could you provide a link to that video. It would be interesting for me to know your experience.

Do You sell plans for this?

I see you made this (for a chess piece) before; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eWEriiCMcXc.html What is exactly better in what you made now?
