Duplicator

Pretty cool!

Are the baring V-grooved?
What are the travel dimensions?

The bearings and the round stock it rides on is 1/4" . It has a 10 square work area.

I think this is a really smart and useful jig. When you describe it as a ‘duplicator’ It makes me think that you can use stops on it to restrict the routers travel in either direction, or am I missing the point?

Your right. You could do that. But my original idea was to use a pattern or a master. Using this would allow me to duplicate exactly many times over. I need only to place the stock in the exact same place in the vise. Stops could be used for that too. See… this idea is still evolving. I can’t wait to fire this baby up! My first try will be mortise and tenon work.

In the colored rendering you’ll see a yellow follower just after the handle. This follows the master and the stock in the vise is routed. The vise is under the table.

Good idea John,looking good.
