Abstract
A duplicating attachment for an ordinary turning lathe which includes means for converting a conventional wood or metal lathe into a precise but simple tool for duplicating a particular pattern or model turning. Means are provided to attach a pattern or template to a lathe which is manually traced by an operator with a feeler member. Means are provided to interconnect the said feeler member or tracing element with a rotary cutting tool which contacts and cuts a lathe-rotated work piece simultaneously with the tracing operation, creating an exact replica of the pattern or template.
