I bought the 36 inch pro model about 3 years ago and really have not had great success with it. I`ve read some earlier posts and most are on the money, it is pretty slow, you have to learn to be smooth and you are continously sharpening the cutter. I guess it is one of those things I had to have but I wouldn`t do it again. I see they have a $59.00 PRECISION HSS CUTTER, sounds rather high, has anyone tryed one? Also, my duplicator is on a lathe with a 12" swing and the directions says it will fit up to a 16" swing but I don`t have but about an inch more adjustment on the 12 inch lathe. I guess I could put 1" spacers between the lathe bed and the L brackets on my lathe with the 16" swing. Anyone have this model on a lathe bigger than 12" swing? BARRY BRUNER
