Vega Duplicator at my door in less than 24 hours
 

from Tools-Plus.com for $249.00 including shipping. No three week wait. So if you want it for Xmas getting it will be no problem.

Awesome I'm jealous. Hope that lathe is treating you well.

Ill be doing a lot of hand carves this winter.

You need to post some pics of your work too.

PM Prof Moriarty and get the carbide cutter and holder. It is a game changer IMO. Once you have the dupe set up and are comfortable with it, you get into producing masters out of lexan or plexi. Be sure to keep a master turned blank to verify your set up as you change from different plugs. This tool allows you to crank it up to another level. A few of us have been trading turned and marked plugs with the square ends left on..... Let us know how it's going.

I will let you know Ross, and Chris will post a pic or two. Looking forward to trading squared ended master's of which I have two as we speak. Little different version of the canal style pencil that work rather well. I realy am looking forward to ramping up the quality, sameness, of each plug I turn.


Also Paul I will be getting ahold of you shortly.

Congrats', I bet you're excited.

If you are primarily going to turn with the Vega, I have a design plan for a Vega chip-control box if you are interested. Using this box with a 4" hose to my dust colector has all but eliminated turning chips in my shop. It is adjustable for blanks from 6" to 11.5".

Good score on the Vega, Swimmer. I had to wait 5 weeks.


Show us a picture!

Don't forget the 3/4" shaft collars!!
