Adapting a smaller duplicator

[Greg Bender]

I have access to a 12" duplicator and want to use it on a 16" jet. Has anybody tried to adapt one for the other.If you make some 2" riser blocks does that solve the majority of potential problems or does the reach of the cutter arm come in to play? I need to turn 300 spindles and want to simplify the process as much as possible.
Thanx,Greg

Somebody must have a duplicator out there. Bump.
