wood lathe copying attachment
 

Hi,
I am thinking to buy a wood lathe copying attachment to duplicate some
baseball bats.
Is there anyone of you, who know about how many baseball bats that
these kind duplicator can produce on a day (for beginner)?

Thanks,
Darius

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not as many as you will make by freehand turning after you get the hang of
it.

Normally, I can make only 20 bats a day. I hope this machine can
increase production and accuracy.

If you're making 20 a day, you need to go CNC.. lol

You have a market for all those bats?

Yes, 20 bats by freehand but the precission is not very good, that's
why I try to search the lathe duplicator.

Do I have a market for all those bats? ---- I won't made those bats
if there was no inquiry, I sell those bats for $8.50 to $22.50 each.

Luck for me, I live in Indonesia, all of wood prices seem very cheap
here.
The only thing I have to wacth out just those terorist.

I'm going to suggest a device (not of my invention) which might work for
you...

You need to mount a dowel behind your bat blank, and parallel to it. On
that dowel you have a number of fingers made from wood, wire, metal,...,
whatever, which are free to rotate on the dowel but are fixed in
position left to right. You adjust the length of each finger so that
when you use a parting tool on the blank where that finger is, it will
drop down when the blank is the right diameter.

So, now you mount the blank, get it round, then set the diameter at each
finger with a parting tool. When that is done, you just need to connect
the work you've already done.

I hope that is clearer than mudg.

No worried for them, they almost never come back. But there is always
a new customer. That's why I'm looking for a duplicator.

Thanks

I always compare the dimension of the blank vs the original bat per
each inches, but the most difficult part to make them the same is on
the knob and the barrel end side.

You can make a contour gauge out of plastic, brass, masonite, particle
board, etc.

As maple and ash are not the tropical tree, I make the bat from Schima
walichii, and Eugenia.spp


What kind of wood do you make them from?
