I just wanted to post some pics of my Mini Max copy lathe in action. I'm duplicating some balusters for a short section of outside railings. The material is Spanish Cedar which is a very good choice for outside work.
The lathe is excellent for my needs, short production runs and duplicating custom parts. I can remove about 1/2" on each pass and each one of these balusters takes about 5 minutes to copy.
After they are copied, the details get touched up with lathe tools and the piece gets sanded.
For someone like me, (not overly talented on the lathe) this machine makes this kind of work very fast and profitable.
Like all Mini Max machines, it is very well constructed and a real pleasure to use.
