Re: Miniature spindles

[Okla Mike (Liltwisted)]

Yes I have, and I started with the Vega.  I am very comfortable with one 
(because I can rub my belly and pat my head) but where the Vega cutter 
stops, and leaves some of the fine detail to be cut in, the Shopsmith 
Duplicator will clean it up from the first set-up and will only require 
sand paper and not another tool.  If you are re-creating a spindle and 
it has to be the same, you will have to clean up inner corners.  If you 
are designing, as was mentioned before, allow for the downhill in the 
pattern and no-one will be the wiser because they will all be the same.  
It's not a bold statement, It's how I make my living.  It's what works 
for me.

That is the beauty of the Shop Smith duplicator.  You are able to not 
only get to the 90º but way past as well.  I have even made captured 
rings with the Shop Smith.  This ability to duplicate way beyond the 
"downhill" is why I don't own a Vega.


Richard, you should be able to make one yourself.  As long as you have 
the cutter and the follower perpendicular to each other, it will be 
like cutting a key.  If there is a 90º in the original or in the 
pattern, it will be there as well in the finish product. This will be 
especially needed on your 1/4" dowel shoulder. Here is a video of 
adapting the SM Dup to another lathe

Richard, I use a Vega Duplicator for such tasks, can’t imagine any
turner not having one, just make sure all of your cuts are downhill.

The Shopsmith duplicator looks a good idea  --but and a big
BUT how do you keep the hand held unit at 90 deg to the work and
also the pattern,, Is it the case of keeping it square by eye. If
that is the case I am sure I can make a similar copier to go on my
Record lathe..

My son-in-law asked me if I could get these small spindles made 10

Approx Dia. 1/2" by 1"long with a dowel at each end 1/4" Dia by
1/4" long

A bit on the small side for the Woodchuck !!!

Tried on my Record lathe and could not get two the same, I did
however get a good dose of backache
