I have one mounted on a Jet mini lathe. I leave the vega attachment on the Jet and just pull the dup off the mounts (two bolts) when I want to turn by hand. Once you have the vega set up, tested, and tweaked so that it is perfectly square and aligned, take two small hose clamps and put one on each of the stems of the vega where it attaches to the base. When you need to remove, you undo the two bolts, and then lift off the dup. To put the dup back, reverse the process. By leaving the mounting brackets on the lathe and having the hose clamps as stops for the dup, takes all of 20 seconds to remove or install. If that does not make sense, I can take a few photos this evening and post them for you.
