Hi. I have an older lathe duplicator item #555209. I lost the channel assembly.
Item #514715. Shopsmith no longer makes it. They have a new one item #517938 and you have to buy support brackets and so forth and so on, for about a $100 bucks. Does anyone have the older lathe duplicator and can you send me a picture with some basic stats on it. I would deeply appreciate it. I want to try and make one.
Thanks
Tim

I believe that about 39-1/2" of Unistrut P3300HS will be a suitable replacement for the channel. I hope you didn't lose the template brackets with the channel. If you need more information, email me directly.
