Vega DU-2 Utility Duplicator
The duplicator attached easily to my Jet 1236. It went together quite easily. It did not come with parts to mount a master, but only for a pattern (they suggest a plexiglas profile cutout), which works pretty well. It came adjusted for a 36" bed, but was easily adjusted down to the 34 1/2" bed.

It has a manually driven chain drive that can be adjusted to get rid of play. It has a manual mechanism to limit the depth of cut per pass (by holding the "stylus" away from the pattern). The bit provided is very effective, allowing a much deeper cut than might initially appear possible, since cuts a shoulder in either direction. You cannot create 90 degree "coves", since the bit is wedge shaped (no other shape seems possible), so you wind up with a bit "softer" result. I have made several 4x4 spindles from Fir, that look quite nice after moderate sanding.

The tool rattles when roughing out, and I find that is faster to do with a gouge.

It is heavy duty and seems sturdy. The parts to adapt it to the lathe bed are very sturdy, but unpainted, making them appear home brewed.

It is pretty unlikely you would need a larger duplicator than this, and the price is quite reasonable for what you are getting. ... Read more

Creating a beautiful table leg on a lathe is a joy. But creating three more absolutely identical to it is a daunting task. But here comes a tool that will do it for you. After initial assembly, which is kind of detailed, you'll be ready to copy anything you can turn. It's imperative to follow the setup directions exactly (and the video is more help than the written directions), because if you're off even a fraction of an inch in your initial setup, you're assuring yourself of errors. After that, though, using it is just as much a joy as turning the original piece. Don't dismiss it as diminishing the art of the craft, either, because the duplicator can be controlled by hand. There are a number of accessories, too, that we like, including the spiral attachment and the router bracket, which easily lets you create fluted contour pieces. It's easy to use and, we admit, fun, too. And it will turn out as many copies of your original piece or any template for years to come. We think it's the perfect investment for the serious turner or furniture builder.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Nicely Done
....I find that this is a very nicely engineered tool. It is easyto set up after watching the video, though the written instructionsare poor. Some of the non-essential parts are poorly machined, but this does not effect their performance, just their asthetics. I would recommend this tool for anyone who would like a duplicator regardless of the lathe that you own. With a little help from Vega and Amazon, my duplicator fit my vintage Oliver lathe perfectly. ... Read more

Really a good chuck but ...
The chuck is really well made and the wrench moves the jaws very smoothly. Unfortunately I have to return it. Not because the chuck has any faults, but rather because the description and the professional reviewer failed to tell me that the jaws are adjusted individually, rather than concentrically with one turning of the wrench. Now that's a good feature if you are working with blanks that need that. But my needs were stricly for round concentric bowl use, and I wanted to be able to ensure the bowl blank was centered with one tightening operation. The picture shows the T-wrench and one adjustment socket. No hint that the chuck has independent adjustments. By the way, the Delta label on the box indicates the independent adjustment. So should Amazon's description.

So, if that's what you need, it is a solid product, just what you'd expect from Delta. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Couldn't give it 5 without actually using it, and since I'm returning it, I couldn't do that. ... Read more

This means previous purchases hold their value. Every chuck comes complete with new display box & CD box has space to display and pack extra accessory jaws, inserts etc. Great for organisation!

Amazon.com Review

If you're into turning, you'll love this lathe. Its 16-inch steel-bed design is 20 times more torsionally stable than the traditional cast-iron bed, and with 42 inches between centers, it offers all the work room you could want. The head spindle lock is a great design--rugged yet easy to use--and has a 24-division indexer for ornamental work. The cast-iron tool rest is a full 12 inches long, and its base travels smoothly on the ground bed for the widest range of tool placement. Powering the whole thing is the big-name Baldor 1-1/2-horsepower motor and Poly-V belt for maximum torque and minimum vibration. Delta has thought of everything with this model--the steel-tube construction offers additional stability because the feet will accommodate four-by-four lumber for a bigger footprint and safer turning on large workpieces. There are even brackets below the bed so you can add a shelf if you'd like. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Features

• Two-year limited warranty on machines, parts, and accessories

Great Lathe for the price
I've had this lathe now for 10 months I have made all kinds of things on it. This machine is a serious work horse. I have not had any problems with it at all. If you are looking for a true value this machine has it all.

Excellent smoothness and stability
I would definately recommend this lathe to anyone but production woodturners. It's very smooth, especially after filling the hollow legs with sand. It has a much beefier spindle than the smaller Delta, which is a major consideration if you are turning larger bowls. As a matter of fact, I bought this lathe after killing the headstock on my smaller delta lathe doing just that. The Baldor motor and DC controls are very nice also.

My only qualm is with the control stalk. Due to it's position, it both picks up dust and is in the firing line for items that shatter while the lathe is at speed. Luckily it seems fairly beefy, as it withstood a large chunk of cherry at 1800 RPMs. Otherwise, this lathe is fantastic for the price. I'm very happy with mine.

Excellent stability and control
I recently upgraded from the Delta 46-700, and there is no comparison. To start with, the stand is very well built, and very rigid. The legs are hollow, and easily filled with sand. The stability was good before, but now I get almost no vibration, even when turning large bowls.

The spindle is also much beefier than the smaller model. I managed to warp the spindle on the 46-700 by turning a large Ash bowl. I doubt I could warp the spindle on this if I bashed it with a sledge.

The DC motor and controls are very good. The only flaw I've seen is that my controls occasionally go into fault mode for no noticeable reason. The only way I've found to clear it is to kill the power and restart it. This only seems to happen with the drive is stopped, so it hasn't been a big problem for me.

This lathe is no toy!!!!!
After buying all the shop equipment I needed to outfit my wood shop I set my thoughts on a lathe. I did research and found one very important factor when choosing a lathe, don't go cheep! I choose the Delta 46-745, and I'm so glad I did. The baldor motor is the finest in the industry, and the control you have over speed is fantastic. The other great feature is low to no vibration, Delta even gives tips on totally eliminating vibration by either, filling
the legs with sand or the ability to use 4x4's to widen the lathes foot print or secure the lathe to the floor. This lathe is both smooth and very powerful, everything is accesable and very easy to setup, all tooling has it's place in the leg tops and the control box is right at eye level.This lathe is now my favorite machine in my shop!! You have to have one of these bad boys!!!!

Nice Lathe but I question the longevity of the Controls
Lathe is very nice and works very well. Fit and finish is good as well as ease of assembly. My concern is that the electronic speed control is mounted where two things can happen:

Debris can damage it because of location if something comes off the lathe.

Dust is going to keep the electronics coated continuously due to location and large vent holes in side of control. ... Read more
