Stylus and Tool Profile
For Lathe Tracer
The exact reproduction on the workpiece of the details of profile, can only occur when tracer and tool have the right rack and that their points have the same radius ; radius to be reproduced.
Example : when turning with the copier at 60° with reference to the center line, the stylus profile should be able to scan template with maximum slope.
Most standard marketed copying tools have a rake. It is then obvious that the maximum reproducible stope will be as same in this attached photo.
Each stylus is equipped with two points with radius of 0.5mm. When tools with greater radius are used, it will be necessary that the stylus point, be a accordingly-modified.
All Things You Have to Know About Lathe Copy Attachment
A lathe copy attachment, also known as a lathe duplicator, is a tool that automates the replication of a prototype object’s contours and shapes onto another material. By mounting this attachment onto a lathe, users can produce consistent, precise duplicates efficiently. The attachment follows the template of the original piece, reducing manual effort and error margins. Available in manual and automated types, lathe copy attachments are ideal for woodworking projects requiring high accuracy and uniformity, such as creating spindles or table legs. Proper installation, calibration, and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and longevity of the tool.

Positioning of Tracers for Several Purposes
The tracer on a lathe copy attachment can be positioned in 4 ways, depending on the desired application. 60° position, 90° position, 30° or 0° position.
