I am buying a duplicator from a private seller in Southern NJ and he also has a NIB Fisch Midi Lathe for sale for $150 with a bed extension.
This Fisch Lathe is a great deal for someone just getting into plug making. It is better quality than the harbor Freight lathes for less money.
"From the Manufacturer
With heavy cast construction, the 1/2 hp motor on this turning center has an easy access speed change with 6 speeds, from 500 to 3700 rpm. It features 10-inch diameter turning, 2-1/2-inch tailstock spindle travel, and 15 inches between centers. And, it accepts easy mount bed extension, allowing up to 39 inches between centers. Other features include sealed bearings, a dust and chip deflector, indexable metal lockdowns, and a hollow tailstock for long hole boring. Your purchase includes a 3-inch face plate, 6-inch straight tool rest, double bearing live center, dead center, knock out bar, and spanner wrench."
If interested in this lathe send me a PM and I will give you the guys contact information.
He is selling me a slightly used Vega 36 " Duplicator which he used to make baseball bats from Ash and maple for college and pro players. He would sell custom bats for $50 and he shared with me his bat making secrets.
