You are a master of your trade. Don't take that lightly. The skill it takes to make all of the tools you've created is highly admirable. Keep on being an absolute bad ass.
Hello friends. let us be grateful to our friend who posted this video sharing knowledge. It doesn't cost anything to like and make a simple comment. It is the least we can do in gratitude for his work. thank you!
Alex, you build models to a level far beyond what I can build, however your instructions and explanations are so clear that I want to give it a try. Well done man.
Thank you for providing this project. This will be a big help to me to duplicate chair spindles. I particularly like the rails for the sled. Very nicely designed a constructed.
Good video builds. I first found your channel looking at the first router lathe videos (build and demo), and I have been impressed with everything I see you do. I must say however, that this machine looks to be way more user friendly than most that I have seen (including those by some other posters here on You-tube). And an extra kudo for crediting Matthias. I also watch everything he puts up. It is a wonderful experience for me to learn things from people who look at things the way we do.
Impressive work. You seem quite young for someone with such skills! I look forward to seeing more of your great ideas! Thank you. I’m looking forward to building this for my shop! I may have missed how it is attached to the floor/lathe.
using a plunge router you can cut square corners (which look good) not exactly what I was looking for I was looking for a similar set up that would cut with the side rather than the face like yours does thanks for posting your router duplicator turning set up great tool
if you were able to enter the workpiece tangentially rather than radial the chip-out might be reduced. this would allow you to have a set surface speed on the cutter. also i would maybe thing about working from the tail stipck end considering the rotation of your router. i know that the metal world is a littler different, but if your lathe is turning with the top coming towards you and the router is spinning clockwise as you stand then you are reducing the speed at the cut (larger diameter will be slower tip speed)
You could add in some automation with a motor and belt to slowly traverse the tool older. This would give you a hands off method for creating exact diameter dowel\cylinders.
Nice build! 4:30 - Since you're cutting with the right hand side of the router bit, you're making a climb cut as both the router bit and the workpiece are moving downward. Is that by design? Have you had any issues with that? Have you tried cutting right to left so as to make a traditional cut?
love the project i am currently building one just have a question what is the piece just in front of the lathe at 3:43 ?? as that is not in the plans ps: great job got me inspired to get back to woodwork frankie,spain
I think you are referring to the lathe mount, which attaches the duplicator to the lathe. Although not in the plans, I did discuss the lathe mountings briefly in the articles on my website.
I've seen most of your other videos and I'm always impressed, not just in your skills, but also in your presentation and your good character. Like another poster below, I was also impressed that you gave credit to Matthias Wandel. I like him too but he charges for his plans and I'm permanently disabled and I can't afford much. I do some woodworking but not for a living and I much appreciate your willingness to make provisions for free plans of your labor. I did have one question regarding the followers. how do you match them up with the bits and can you use other bits besides round over bits and the V groove bit? For example, if I wanted to use a much larger decorative bit, how would one decide what size to make the follower?
Hey that's an amazing build, also very inspiring guide system. Would you maybe consider redoing your bandsaw with some improvements? Cause I sure would like to see that.
that is a Neat Thing... and also thanks for the free plans, and the Model.. Although it didn't open in my Skethup, as I have Ver.8Pro, and i believe you have done it in a rather latest version of Sketchup..
Was wondering do you line up the router bit to center of workpiece, or are you slightly higher or lower. I played a little with using a router and did not like the results to much. It did not seem to cut too well. thought maybe I was not lining up the bit properly.
D. Reichert I did, although slightly below would not make much difference. I did a short video that covers setup which might help (Baseball bat). If your setup is similar to this you could try using a regular turning chisel instead to cut (something similar in style to the Easywood tools would be best), but be aware it it will put a lot more stress on the rig.
ThisWoodwork originally I tried to use the Sorby Turnmaster tool setup, and really did not like it. So I tried the router, I think I have the bit too high, it seemed to grab too much. Also my lathe is not variable speed, only 5 speeds and not too sure if it is running too fast. I don't have it on rails like yours, but have built a stand to move around and follow a pattern. There are some on here like I tried. I am hoping to get to start a rail system this weekend. I have some linear bearing from an old CNC project I was working on, so thought I would use these instead of making them.
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing this. Did you align the router bit in the exact center or just below center? What are the feeds and speed rates? I'm having trouble getting a good enough finish to start sanding. It's very rough.
I'm wondering if following right-to-left might give better results than following left-to-right. Going right-to-left, the cutting face of the router bit will be spinning up to meet the wood on the lathe spinning down. Going left-to-right, the cutting face of the router bit is spinning down and having to chase the downward-spinning wood.
Very good, thanks for planes and video.- exelente, buenísimo, gracias por compartir los planos y el video.- Sergio Hidalgo Antognoni, desde Santiago de Chile.-
something that I would add, hopefully to help prevent chipout is to make multiple shallow passes rather than the single deep pass you made in the video. AFAIK, router bits don't work very well if the cut is too deep.
Chip out. One or the other of the two meeting pieces must be moving at the slowest rate. Preferrably the work piece. The problem is that your work pieces is moving at a sufficient rate to cause caming. Where the bit in the router is moving a rate fast enough to actually spin the work piece faster rather than cutting. If you slow your spindle speed on the lathe you'll get a cleaner cut and will be less likely to have tear out.

Alex, you build models to a level far beyond what I can build, however your instructions and explanations are so clear that I want to give it a try. Well done man.
It's great to see a guy as young as you who enjoy's working with wood
This kind of creativity is what puts you in a league of your own. Thank you for sharing your ideas, im looking forward to the next one.
Nice design, Alex! I like the interchangeable follower idea a lot! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for providing this project. This will be a big help to me to duplicate chair spindles. I particularly like the rails for the sled. Very nicely designed a constructed.
This guy knows how to do it. His videos are help for lot of people here.
Great work, Alex. You're a very talented young man.
And than you for sharing your work.
Thanks for sharing Alex! I'm in the process of designing a duplicator and your videos are very helpful.
Nice video Alex. Your chipping out problem is why I went to the floating router style. Less chipping. Still very impressive.
Rewatching these 2. Fantastic execution here

You are a Genius Young Man. You Rocks.
hallo Alex you have good skills,and thank‘s voor all the free projekt‘s.
Great job! I always enjoy your approach to a project. Thanks for sharing.
Alex - Great job with this video project. Very well done.
Nice work, Alex!. I'm trying to make so. It's about 90 % to complete.
Awesome video set of 3. Great work.
Amazing great work Alex, keep them coming.
Impressive, When I get the time i'll make one of these. Well done!
excellent work alex
Great idea...from Argentina..Thanks for sharing
Great build Alex...
Good Job! 8) Thanks for making the plans free !
I'd really love to get the plans for the router duplicator. Cant seem to find the plans you mentioned
Like it! Impressive home made bit of kit. Cheers for video.
Vous êtes très ingénieux, félicitation.

Thanks Alex. Well done.
Any chance to use stepper motors and some basic software to actualy tunr things from a "digital" template ... Just thinking ... nice job !
You could add in some automation with a motor and belt to slowly traverse the tool older. This would give you a hands off method for creating exact diameter dowel\cylinders.
What are the best speeds for the lathe and the router copier combination? What speeds are preferable - low speed or high speed?
Muy bonito,y muy prolijo,felicitaciones .Orlando de Argentina
Where can I buy the roller wheels and what is the size? Thanks.
Nice build!

What kind of router is that? Very awesome!
Hi alex,do you have a Video to build a Pantograph?
love the project i am currently building one just have a question what is the piece just in front of the lathe at 3:43 ?? as that is not in the plans
ps: great job got me inspired to get back to woodwork

Hey that's an amazing build, also very inspiring guide system.
Would you maybe consider redoing your bandsaw with some improvements?
Cause I sure would like to see that.
Good work ! Appreciated 🙂
A wonderful job .
Exactly what do you use to stick your pattern to the workpiece?
Helpful ..Thanks for Sharing ........Can u create a video and tell us how to make Double Miter saw
that is a Neat Thing... and also thanks for the free plans, and the Model.. Although it didn't open in my Skethup, as I have Ver.8Pro, and i believe you have done it in a rather latest version of Sketchup..

Ciao,Complimenti per i tuoi video
Good job my fellow andrew
very nice work
Es genial, estoy suscrito a tu canal, tienes algún link donde vengan los planos para construirlo, gracias y saludos desde Los Reyes Michoacan México
Mery Christmas!
Awesome work !!!!
Hey nice design and great explanation on the build. One thing I missed though was where your template goes that the follower traces? Cheers
+Sig Guy disregard my comment. It was a quick blip are 4:30. Thanks

This is brilliant! Keep up the good work, i'm stealing your plans :)!
i am interested to buy it from you. what is the price?

bravo bel lavoro
router spec?
very nice work, just one thing, the spring should pull the router away from the work piece.
Not when using the follower surely?
Hola amigo muy interesante tu proyecto me suscribí y me gustaría poder tener acceso a los planos.
Un afectuoso saludo desde CHILE
Well Done.
