Frank, just mount the duplicator on the backside leaving the front for freehand work. put the dup bit in upside down.
Then your front is used with chisels going the correct direction for toolrest.

I believe Mac set his up that way
it's a good way to do it if you only have one lathe and don't want to swap out the duplicator back and forth if you want to or need to use the lathe conventionally. I have 2 lathes now but I used to set the duplicator up and take it off, but it was not one of the store bought ones.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
