The carriage assembly was aligned at the factory. However, shipment handling may require a readjusment of the
carriage assembly. Carriage travel along the guide rail is critical to the proper alignment of the duplicator to the lathe
centers. Perform the following procedures and adjustments (if necessary) prior to the initial operation of the duplicator.

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND TIGHTEN ALL DUPLICATOR MOUNTING BOLTS.

2. Grasp the carriage assembly (A) Fig. 44. Check for any unwanted play (movement) between the carriage assembly and rail. If
no play is present between the carriage assembly and rail, proceed with STEP 4.

3. If loose movement is detected in the carriage assembly (A) Fig. 44, determine which side of the carriage assembly needs
adjustment. Loosen two corresponding lock screws (B) Fig. 44, located at the rear of carriage assembly (A), and turn corre­sponding adjustment screw (C) clockwise. IMPORTANT: Turn the adjustment screw (C) only slightly. Check and readjust if nec-
essary. Remove all play between the carriage assembly (A) and rail.Tighten the two corresponding lock screws (B).

4. Rotate handwheel (D) Fig. 44, and move carriage assembly (A) back and forth the entire length of the duplicator guide rail
(E). Check for smooth operation of the carriage assembly (A). NOTE: Proper movement of the carriage assembly is the decision
of the individual operator. However, a small amount of drag is normal.

5. If an adjustment is necessary, refer to STEP 3. Tighten four lock screws (B) after adjustment is made.

3. To duplicate from a turning (D) Fig. 75, turn threaded pin (C) until the pointed end of pin (C) is inserted into the end of the
turning. Turn threaded pin (C) enough to hold turning firmly in position. Loosen screw (E) and slide safety bracket (F) against
end of turning.Tighten screw (E). Adjust the remaining holding bracket to the other end of the turning in the same manner.

NOTE: The two safety brackets (F) Fig. 75 keep the follower arm pin (G) from sliding off the edge of pattern (D) during
operation.

4. To use a template as a pattern, place the template (H) Fig. 76 on top of the pattern holding brackets (A) and fasten with
four M65 x 16mm hex socket head screws (J) (not supplied). Refer to section “DUPLICATING FROM A TEMPLATE”.

ADJUSTING TURNING SUPPORT BRACKETS

Two turning support brackets (A) Fig. 77 are supplied and are designed to prevent any inward deflection of the turning (B)
during the duplicating operation.

1. Loosen four set screws (C) Fig. 77 and move support brackets (A) to the areas where they will give the greatest support
along the turning (B). Tighten set screws (C).

2. Loosen two locknuts (E) Fig. 77 and rotate support screws (D) until they contact turning (B). Turning (B) will then be pro­tected against any inward deflection during the duplicating operation. Tighten two locknuts (E) after adjustments are made.

ADJUSTING FOLLOWER ARM

The follower arm (A) Fig. 78 rides against either a turning or a template and
controls the depth of the cutting tool.

1. To adjust the follower arm (A) up or down, loosen wing screw (D), move the
arm up or down to the desired position, and tighten screw (D). The bottom por­tion of the follower arm (A) Fig. 78 is an eccentric and this portion of the arm
should always ride against the turning or template.

2. When setting up the duplicator for operation, point the lever (E) Fig. 76 to
the right. After the first test cut, check the diameter of the workpiece. To adjust
the diameter of the test cut, loosen wing screw (D) and rotate lever (E) slightly
clockwise to decrease or forward to increase the workpiece diameter.

3. After a turning has been completed using the duplicator, adjust the cutting
tool slightly closer to the workpiece for one additional final cut by loosening
wing screw (D) Fig. 78, and rotating lever (E) slightly clockwise.

OPERATIONS

DUPLICATING A TURNING

Move the left pattern holding bracket (A) Fig. 80 to the left edge of the duplicator guide rail, and place the turning (B) against
the threaded center pin (C). Move the right pattern holding bracket against the turning on the right side of the duplicator.

Thread the center pins of the pattern holding brackets (A) Fig. 80 into the ends of the turning (B) to prevent the turning from
moving as the follower arm moves across the contours of the turning. Lock the pattern holding brackets (A) in the desired posi­tion on the duplicator guide rail. Slide the safety brackets (D) against both ends of the turning (B) Fig. 80, and tighten lock screws
(E). IMPORTANT: These safety brackets (D) will prevent the follower arm from accidentally moving off the turning and

damaging the tool bit or causing personal injury.

Slide the two support brackets (F) Fig. 81 to the areas adjacent to the turning (B) where support is needed to prevent deflec­tion as the follower arm (G) moves across the turning (B). Loosen two locknuts (H) and move the two support screws (J) out­ward until the screws contact the surface of the turning (B) (Fig. 81), and firmly tighten locknuts (H).

Mount the workpiece between the lathe centers and lock tailstock in position on the lathe bed. Adjust the tool advancement
arm (K) Fig. 82, so the follower arm (G) is against the largest diameter of the turning (B) Fig. 82. Pull spring handle (L) back and
move the tool advancement arm (K) back one notch (1/8"). With the tool bit (M) clear of the workpiece, apply power to the lathe.
Move the duplicator carriage (N) to the right two or three inches and engage tool advancement arm (K) to make the initial cut
to round off the workpiece. NOTE: When a flat surface is needed at the ends of the final cut, move the carriage (N) left and
rough cut up to the flat, and then to the right to continue the rough cut. This action will keep the wood from splintering.

Once the workpiece has a round surface, place a steady rest (P) Fig. 83 on the work to avoid vibration. Continue advancing the
cut in 1/8" increments, using the spring handle (L), tool engagement levers, and fine adjustment knob (R) to follow the contours
of the turning. IMPORTANT: Always pull back on handle (L) before advancing tool engagement lever (S).

When turning a workpiece of varying diameters, start the follower arm (G) Fig. 83 on the largest diameter and work down to the
smaller diameter.

Perform final operation by moving carriage (N) Fig. 83 and sanding workpiece.

DUPLICATING FROM A TEMPLATE

Determine the center line of the turning on the template (A) Fig. 84. A minimum of 3" from the center line to the back edge of
the templet (A) will give maximum support to the template (A) when installed on the duplicator (B).

When attaching the template (A) Fig. 84 to the duplicator (B), the back edge of the template should rest on the ledge of the
channel (C) and the two support brackets (not shown) should be positioned under the template (A) for additional support.

The center line of the template (A) Fig. 85, which is determined by the diameter of the finished piece, should be set directly over
the center pins of the pattern support brackets (D) and fastened in position with four screws supplied. NOTE: After a test cut,
minor adjustments can easily be made to the placement of the template (A) on the pattern holding brackets (D).
