3.
Install the four 10 x 20 -2 flat washers and four M10 x
1.5 - L30 hex nuts, B and C, onto the four square
head bolt threads and snug them up by hand.
4.
Once the duplicator rail is in position on the support
brackets, H, or beams, I, use the supplied 14 mm
wrench to tighten the 10 mm nuts.
ASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING THE TEMPLATE BACKUP SUPPORT
The template backup support is used to support the middle section of longer templates or sample turnings to pre-
vent the template of sample turning from deflecting inwards when the duplicator stylus pushes against it.
It should be mounted to the carriage rail roughly centered on the template or sample turning and the stop bolt A
should be adjusted in inwards or outwards as needed to just touch against the back of the template or sample turn-
ing (as shown below on right).

1. Assemble the backup support as shown above, by threading a hex nut B onto the end of the longer M10
hex stop bolt A far enough to expose roughly 3/8" of the end of the bolt beyond the nut, and then threading the
exposed threads on the end of the bolt into the bottom hole in the support plate C.
2. Fit the shorter square head bolt D through the back of the support plate and secure it in place with a washer
E and hex nut F.
3. Slide the T-head bolt into the t-slot in the rail as shown, G, until the support is roughly centered on the rail and then
tighten the nut, H, to secure it in place.
MOUNTING THE TEMPLATE CLAMPING BRACKETS
The duplicator is supplied with two clamping brackets
that are used to hold the template or original spindle in
place at each end.
Hint: When installing the brackets, make sure to orient them so
A
that the points
are facing inwards.
To mount the clamping brackets:
1. From each end of the duplicator, slide the t-head bolt
of each of the brackets into the t-slot in the rail as
shown.
2. The final positioning of the brackets will depend on the
length of the template or original spindle being used to duplicate. Set the bracket positioning so that the dis-
tance between the points A is roughly 1/8" more than the length of template or original spindle. Once in posi-
tion tighten down the nut B to secure the brackets in place.
