36 inch Pro Lathe Duplicator
By Andy McCormick
I was very happy with the duplication of this machine. However the video and the written instructions that were included were terrible. The video was made in 1990 and it shows an out of date assembly method. I watched the out of focus video and muffled sound for about 5 minutes. The video was no help on how the machine is put together. The written instructions were no better. The print is small and it does not show where to install all the parts that were given. The manufacturer needs at least a full color photo so you can have some kind of idea where things go. That being said I would still recommend this duplicator even though setting it up was time consuming. You can e-mail me at mccormickwoodworking.com if you need any help setting yours up.

Vega D-36 Duplicator
By Adam MacDonald
I agree with Andy, the duplicator is good but the video and instruction manual are completely worthless. I think the video was shot by a 8 year old who was experimenting with a camera for the first time. The drawings in the manual are hand-drawn and by somebody that has no business hand drawing. The manual has been re-copied so many times that much of the text is off the side of the page and therefore doesn't do any good. Also, my duplicator was missing some bolts and washers that I had to go to the hardware store to buy. And because the directions were so terrible, it took a few trips and some trial and error to figure out exactly what bolts were needed. That being said, the duplicator is great once it is set up and will make many beautiful turnings. I highly recommend using a template rather than an original turning. I've found that the slender turning attatchment is a must if you plan to turn 2x2 stock longer than 20". I thought I could get away with just taking light cuts but this is not the case. Hope this helps.

By Marv Kratky
The Vega D-36 - 36" Professional Lathe Duplicator was a very good choice for me. I had an old bed post leg that was splitting and breaking apart. I read all the instructions, set up the tool, put the leg on the duplicator and made an exact match the first time. I feel like the other review given the diamond V tool would have been the best, which I am going to purchase one soon. The speed chain to move the head is a so much better than a web belt found on the Delta's Lathe Duplicator. All of the other add on tool accessories are great, especially the router attachment which I can see potential in my shop.
