Vega D-96 96-Inch Professional Lathe Duplicator Review

I purchased my first 96" Vega Duplicator in 1997 for spindle work, followed by a smaller 16" version for doing just face plate turnings. I was building lamps for a hotel at the time, my first "job" as a (he he) professional wood turner. I'm really only an "out of control hobbiest". I did a total of 210 lamps, each with 3 individual sections, a total of 630 turnings in about 6 weeks time. Netted $7,000. I did what the big boys would have done for a lot less money, and all by myself! You usually have to use strips of sand paper to finish up the turning, and fine tune the shapes with hand tools if desired. The woods I used were the hardest of tropical hardwoods imagineable. For that kind of wood I recommend the Vega Diamond Vee cutter, apparently not available at Amazon. If I were turning basswood, I could have made 1000 or more turnings in the same amount of time. I lost everything in the big fires here in San Diego County in 10/03, and finally getting around to replacing my equipment. This was one of my "must have" tools to replace. Very well made. You have to do simple routine maintenance, like taking off the cover and blowing out the dust with compressed air, or brushing it off. And keep it oiled. You make your own templates with plexiglass or lexan, which you cut out on a band or scroll saw and finish up with files or sand paper. They are fun to make, and to then try it out on the duplicator. THis tool is also a fun way to do turnings if you are a bit skittish holding the individual turning tools in your hand. THis machine actually improved my hand turning tools by giving me the confidence to go for it! As you can see, I really like this machine. Have fun.
