Copy attachment can interfere with regular
(non-copy) turning operations, causing
damage to workpiece or machine. Always
remove copy attachment or position it at
end of bed, to the right of tailstock before
performing regular turning operations to
prevent interference and reduce risk of
damage to workpiece and/or machine.

the Model g0842 copy attachment enables you
to easily reproduce stair spindles or chair/table
legs using a template or master spindle, as shown
in figure 24.

Before using the copy attachment, create a
2-dimensional template
3-dimensional master spindle. then remove the
tool rest, mount the workpiece between centers,
and mount the master spindle or template (refer to
Step 4 on Page 25 for detailed instructions).
the pressure and back-and-forth motion of the
stylus will erode the features on any template
eventually. however, a hardwood template will last
longer than one made from softwood.
Start simple and practice with scrap pieces when
first using the copy attachment, and always move
stylus in a "downhill" direction (refer to Step 10 on
Page 26).
as with any other surfacing operation, always
take multiple passes, rather than trying to remove
too much wood at one time. this is much safer
and will improve cutting results. it will take some
trial-and-error to properly set up and learn to use
the copy attachment and achieve the best results.
