For anyone who has to make more than a single turned object, duplicators are almost essential to a good job-most tables, for example, look more professionally done when all the legs match. This duplicator is designed specifically for mini or midi style lathes with shorter beds than a standard full size lathe. The General Mini-Lathe Duplicator fits most bench-top or midi-lathes with cast iron bed-ways and a 6 - 14 swing. The hand-wheel controlled chain drive system is integrated into an extruded aluminum base and carriage for smooth performance, enabling the user to turn perfectly matched turned projects.
