I recently took the plunge and purchased a vega duplicator you know the one about 250 from packard. So far the learning curve has been tough. four exploded on the lathe out of five. I know the set up is right as the famous Canal man generously helped me set it up. There is no way I could have done it my self. Thanks Canalman!
I am using the cutter the vega came with and turning red cedar ballesters. Is my explosion problem due to my inexperience, the quality of the cutter, or is red cedar delicate? Thanks I appreciate your input. Thanks dannyplug1 king of Small Striped bass.
