This machine will carve objects up to 8 inches in diameter, and any length desired. Length can be easily extended! Ball bearing guides move effortlessly on steel shafts while a router fitted with a carbide bit does the cutting. A nylon tipped guide pin follows the contour of the original with surprising ease. A wonderful addition to fine hand craftsmanship, this duplicator will allow you to cut a duplicate from a blank block of wood that needs only a final sanding to be finished. Simply a wonderful tool for the hands-on person who wants to do his own work. The turning mechanism allows for the rotation of the workpieces a full 360 degrees, in unison, then they can be locked solidly in position for carving with the twist of a knob. Cutting can be done in three dimensions effortlessly. Setup is accomplished in a matter of minutes on your own table...A piece of 3/4 plywood is fine. All you need to supply is the table or plywood to mount the mechanism and the router and you can start carving. WE DO NOT SUPPLY THE ROUTER.

A handle is lightly held by the operator and the cutting bit follows the detail of the original exactly while the operator makes passes back and forth (or side to side) to remove excess wood. Simple manual operation allows you to proceed at your own speed.
Cutting bits are easily changed to suit the carving. A selection of carbide bits come with the machine, each one with a matching guide pin. The Duplicator is very easy to operate and very forgiving...
