I am just getting what I need or think I need. to start with the drive then start with the screw set up. First make room this will be a slow project for me, waiting for parts and money as I go along. Wayne Only need 1 ...I didn’t notice that was for 2, that’s what I use to pay for 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB14 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I made a new more permanent master, made it in 2 pieces and put a 1/8 rod dead center of the body so no more wobble. I’ve tried different feed speeds and it seems to not matter much the micro ridges are there but I can also confirm that with 180 grit sand paper by hand that they sand out in less than 2 minutes. Pretty happy with it at this point Edited February 15, 2021 by JasonB14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Still not sure saw or router. Router with 4 blades would do a nice job and maybe not dull quickly. What you think, using Cedar mostly 85% Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think, using Cedar mostly 85% Wayne Not sure but I do know that out of all the ones I watched videos of and seen around the web, all but 1 used a grinder with saw blade....I’m eventually gonna try a chainsaw blade just working on getting a few baits made up right now. For sanding the balsa I use 180 grit by hand and it literally takes less time than the machine takes to make the next. Cedar will be a little harder so the drum type flap sander in a drill press may be your best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Jason I will have to check as many as I can videos on duplicators before I start. Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Wow love your work Jason, i have been on leave from TU for a couple of years and missed this post. I went through pretty much all you are doing now in 2015 -2019 , and although different to look at the technicalities/ problems look exactly the same, I think I'm up to Version 5 now - ,,,, I'm thinking (hoping) you are now playing with a near complete machine by now, although I never seem to finish, there's always an improvement that has to be incorporated. Last year ?? Because I don't use Balsa for blanks (usually mahogany) I changed the drive from chain to toothed belt (Gilmer belt) drive to eliminate backlash and noise & much smoother - these belts and toothed wheels are readily available on the "Bay" and at a reasonable price.

hazmail Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Andy--These things just grow in your head, I seem to be forever adding something, last week it was a new wiper motor (1995 Honda Civic ) which replaced a 32V geared laminator motor- Yesterday it was add a small linear motor, today it's wire in a micro switch to to change the way the chuck "unlocks", it never ends.
