is there a specific name for this part only? The circled part? That can't be the entire duplicator part, worth $461 on shopsmith.com.....can it? Obviously in the package includes the mounts etc.. but ya.
I borrowed the image and circled it from a post in this thread. I am thinking of having a metal machining friend build me one instead of buying as I am cheap, LOL! I think I can build the guide etc. myself.

That's my lathe duplicator. As stated earlier, It was made by a previous owner so you can't buy one even if you wanted to. Your machinist friend can easily make one though.rele wrote:is there a specific name for this part only? The circled part?

Re: lathe duplicator
Found a Rand lathe duplicator on CL last week. The ebay link doesn't work any longer so here is one as purchased used. Had to replace a spring, repair the crank handle, and replace a couple of snap rings. No manual included and possibly missing template brackets. Spindle holders are attached to the mounts. I haven't tried making anything yet.
Mark 7 Power Pro, Mark V 510, Mark VII (early 1960s) Headstock wall mount drill press on Mark 5 way tubes, Mark 5 Shorty with reversible motor, Overhead Pin Router, Power station with band saw, Jointers, Belt Sanders, Strip Sander, Scroll saw, Jigsaw, Shopsmith Lathe Duplicator, Craftsman 2.5 hp 13" Planer/molder, Craftsman 5 hp 12-inch planer molder, myriad Shopsmith accessories, Harbor Freight sawmill with extensions to cut 22' logs.
Re: lathe duplicator
Nice! I didn't even know there were aftermarket lathe duplicators that would readily attach to the Mark V. That RAND unit looks very stout. Let us know how it works out...

Re: lathe duplicator
That looks like a great fine, clean and sturdy. I like it and good luck with it.
