My dup doesn't take more than a couple minutes to setup/breakdown.

Delta lathe and vega dup. This does not work on the Jet mini lathe. I have mine set up with hose clamps on the stems of the vega so I can pull the dup off real quick, put the tool rest back on, turn, then reverse the set up. While I'm using the tool rest, the dup base is still on the lathe. The hose clamps help center the vega real quick when I want to put it back on. Takes 2 minutes to pull it off and put it back on and be ready for turning again.
