when I had one it took up the whole bed, so the tool rest had to go...I also found that you needed to get the body down close to the finish point before you took the time to set it up for the finnal few passes.......or otherwise it took longer to use the dupy than it it took to turn by hand and without the cardibe cutter it just tore out the wood....and didn't shave it...that was the mini dupy...full size dupy I understand works far better....anyway imo..it was more time consuming to set up than it was worth,,I'm much faster by hand with cardboard profile's and caliper's even though I have two homemade dupies.
