    Vega lathe duplicators?

    Hi,
    I'm usually in the knuckle dragging forum but I'm looking for opinions on the vega duplicator.
    Any info would be great.
    Thanks, Greg

    Vega makes a good duplicator setup. That said, unless you are going to be doing some serious production work, it's as fast, if not faster, to do spindle by hand and unless they are within inches of each other, any minor differences are not going to be visible to normal humans...or most woodworkers...

    Greg--- from what I have seen they make the best on the market for the price.
    Plus they are real nice folks ---which is worth something these days---

    Hi,
    Thanks for the info. I do tote and knob sets and I'd like to keep the knobs matched as close as I can.
    Thanks Again, Greg

    Just be aware, Greg, that the duplicator isn't going to give you a "finished" surface, generally. You'll still need to take care of that manually.
