Kinda off topic - but thought I would ask

[dlcw]

Does anyone know of a wood lathe that can handle a powered duplicator? Specifically I have been approached by a company to create a rounded part with some additional milling (pretty large quantities). I can't justify the cost of an indexer along with the modifications that would have to be done to my CNC to accommodate the the indexer. Besides, my CNC is busy cutting cabinet parts along with some other manufacturing projects.

I guess I'm looking for something like the Legacy Ornamental machines but the cutting bit can be power driven along a pattern that will create duplicates of the original.

I hope this is clear. :confused:

Do a search for a Gunstock duplicator or wood carver duplicator.
Terrco is one maker and think Gemini is another.

Or use the term copy lathe in a search.
