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 |

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

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. mac davis wrote: On Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:00:43 -0800 (PST), " wrote: Normally, I can make only 20 bats a day.

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. Bill Bruce Barnett wrote: " writes: The only thing I have to wacth out just those terorist. Carry a bat. |

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 mac davis wrote: I'd be worried about unhappy customers "returning" their product.. ;-] |

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. Bill Rubenstein wrote: I hope that is clearer than mudg. |
