Vega Lathe
In the cameron, Mo. area. It's my understanding Vega is a good lathe.
I usually post on Rec. Woodworking forum, so I hope you turners don't mind my posting this. Looks like this may be a good deal, if the price remains low: http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa...897&acctid=430 Wish I could do some decent turning. Sonny |

That looks suspiciously like a meta lathe. Deb Sonny wrote: In the cameron, Mo. area. It's my understanding Vega is a good lathe. I usually post on Rec.

(in message ) : http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa...897&acctid=430 it is a duplicating lathe - basically a wood turning lathe with a Vega duplicating attachment. The spiked wheel you see travels the duplicating cutter back and forth along the ways. The cutter is a hollow ground vee shape, mounted on a spring-loaded spindle which is guided by a follower that drags along a pattern mounted on the ways. The pattern goes in and out - the follwer goes in and out - the cutter goes where the follower goes. (I have an "old" Vega duplicator unit that bolts on to my Shopsmith - have not used it in years) tom koehler -- I will find a way or make one. |

That is a copy lathe so it seems to me.
Wood copy - e.g. spindles... Chain pulls in the cutter. Can be manual mode or copy mode. Looks nice. Martin On 7/3/2011 3:10 PM, Dr. Deb wrote: That looks suspiciously like a meta lathe.
