DUPLICATING LARGER THAN A 6 INCH DIAMETER
Depending on the size and swing of your lathe, it may be possible to duplicate a turning larger than 6" in diam-
eter. This is achieved by moving the duplicator out away from the bed ways. Using the "0 - 6" Scale on the sup-
port brackets, A, set the number for the desired diameter. Each number adds an inch to the maximum diameter
that you can turn, B.
Use the lines that correspond to the number to rough align the duplicator parallel to the lathe bed ways. The align-
ment process will be the same as in the beginning of this manual, with the exception that the cutting tool will no
longer be able to reach the center points in the headstock and tailstock. This measurement must be set with a ruler
or vernier calipers , C.
Note: To duplicate a workpiece with a larger or smaller diameter than the original sample turning or template, move the
cutting tool in the cutting tool arbor IN for larger and OUT for smaller.
ADJUSTMENTS
CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY
The carriage assembly was aligned at the factory and should not require any further adjustment.
We do recommend that you periodically check the carriage assembly for side play. The carriage should travel
along the rail smoothly with a small amount of drag.
To check for play in the assembly grasp the carriage at opposite corners and try to wiggle it side to side, A. If no
side movement is detected, the carriage is ok.

To remove the side play:
1. Loosen the (2) 10 mm lock nuts B and turn the (2) 10 mm bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn. Check for play again
and re-adjust if necessary. Be careful not to tighten the bolts too much or the handwheel will be hard to turn
and the carriage may not move smoothly.
2. Re-tighten the (2) 10 mm lock nuts with a 10 mm open end wrench.
