Lathe duplicator questions

Post by cooch366 »

Good morning,

I’m looking at a used lathe duplicator and have a couple of questions.

I see on the Shopsmith site that is not currently available, and that the some cutters are also not available. Any ideas/suggestions on getting cutters (new, replacement or substitutions)?

Also the current part number for the duplicator is 555638, the one I’m looking at is I believe 555209 which is no longer listed. Any ideas on what the difference is between these two?

Thanks

There are different frame parts between the "old" and "new" Lathe Duplicators. The picture in the online catalog shows the "old" frame of the Lathe Duplicator.

I don't know the reason most of the cutters are no longer available.
