Some Vega Questions

[Bob Thomas]

I know it has probably been beat to death but I can't find some answers in a search.

Thinking about getting a Vega for my Delta Midi lathe.

1. When you cut out a lure, is it just one pass and you're done (Saw salty do it on the pro series) or do you have to take several passes?

2. For patterns, just use wood or do you actually strap a full lure (not cut in half) on the duplicator?

3. Should I get the carbide or will HSS work. Want to do roughly 50 or so per off-season in AYC.

Thanks!
