I never was aware of a carving duplicator, however it looks as if the ones I am seeing commercially would not be too ideal for carving crankbaits...as you would have to clamp the piece being carved at least twice with this machine, since crankbaits are 3D models with curvature.
Woud it be possible to modify a lathe with say a vega duplicator...modify it so that the template piece spun at the same velocity as the lathe?

Good luck finding one of those.
This is a commercial version of what I showed you. You will need the rotary device to do what you want......and a lot of money or ingenuity to boot.

Lathe speed say 1,000 rpm, template 1,000 rpm. How is the duplicator going to follow a pattern spinning at 1,000 rpm, and in PERFECT synchronization? It's impossible

You have lower rpm's on the lathe as well as the pattern the high rpm's are on the cutter.One of these days i will post pics of one i am building. |

The cutting is done with an end mill type tool as both the sample and the work piece turn.
