This Lathe Duplicator Attachment is designed for use ONLY with the Lathe  
Model 90265 (available from Harbor Freight Tools). Make sure to read and  
understand all instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the manu-  
facturer’s manual for the Model 90265 Lathe with which the Lathe Duplicator  
Attachment will be used.  
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure  
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of  
obstructions, oil, grease, trash, and other debris.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Keep all safety guards in place, in proper adjustment, and in proper align-  
ment.  
Prior to starting the Lathe and Lathe Duplicator Attachment, make sure all  
adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the equipment.  
Never adjust the Lathe Duplicator Attachment while it is running. Turn off  
and unplug the Lathe from its electrical outlet. Wait until the Lathe comes to a  
complete stop before performing any adjustments.  
6.  
7.  
Protect hands and fingers from possible injury. Keep hands and fingers  
away from the chuck, centers, and other moving parts.  
Wear eye, face, and hearing protection. Always wear an ANSI approved full  
face safety shield and ANSI approved hearing protectors when using the Lathe  
Duplicator Attachment. Wear ANSI approved dust masks or a respirator if the  
work performed creates excessive dust.  
8.  
Never leave the Lathe Duplicator Attachment unattended while it is running.  
Turn off the electrical power to the Lathe, and do not leave the Lathe Duplicator  
Attachment until the Lathe comes to a complete stop.  
9.  
Never stand on the Lathe Duplicator Attachment. Serious injury could occur if  
the equipment is tipped or if the sharp centers are accidentally contacted.  
10.  
Keep the Cutting Tool sharp and dry for better and safer performance.

12.  
Keep the Lathe Duplicator Attachment dry and its moving parts properly  
oiled for better and safer performance.  
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,  
lathe operations, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to  
the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline  
silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium  
from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-  
ing on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these  
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-  
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-  
scopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
To Adjust The Cutting Tool:  
1.  
Prior to use, the Cutting Tool (31) must be set approximately 1/8” above the  
Spindle of the lathe. Make sure to check at the Headstock and Tailstock of the  
lathe. (See Figure H.)  
2.  
The Cutting Tool (31) can be adjusted vertically by loosening the Support Bar  
Handles (45) which secure the Lower Vertical Support Bars (46) in place.

The Cutting Tool (31) also can be adjusted vertically by loosening the Socket  
Head Bolt (25) which secures the Tool Holder (24) in place. Once adjusted,  
make sure to re-tighten the Socket Head Bolt. (See Figure H.)  
The Cutting Tool (31) can be adjusted horizontally by moving the Tool Rest Base  
across the Bed of the lathe, towards or away from the Spindle of the lathe.  
(See Figure A.)  
The Cutting Tool (31) also can be adjusted horizontally by loosening the two Set  
Screws (20), moving the Cutting Tool in or out, and then re-tightening the Set  
Screws. (See Figure H.)  
To Perform Duplicate Turning:  
1.  
Mount the original woodstock that is to be duplicated in the Pattern Bolts (42).  
The Tool Rest Bases (44) will need to be adjusted along the Bed of the lathe to  
the required length. (See Figures A, and C.)  
2.  
Mount the new piece of woodstock in the lathe. When starting with a square  
piece of woodstock that will be cut to a cylinder, detach the Spring (19) on the  
Tool Holder (24) from the Support Bar (54). Manually feed the Cutting Tool into  
the woodstock with a light depth of cut until the cylinder has been formed. Do  
not start cutting on the end of the woodstock, as the Cutting Tool may  
become caught and damage the woodstock. (See Figure F.)  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Turn the woodstock to a cylinder slightly larger than final size. Then, reattach the  
Spring from the Tool Holder (24) to the Support Bar (54) and adjust the Pattern  
Follower assembly against the original woodstock. (See Figures E, and F.)  
Continue gliding the Tool Holder (24) along the Support Bar (54) until the new  
piece of woodstock fully duplicates the original piece of woodstock.  
(See Figure F.)  
Always make sure to turn off the lathe and unplug it from its electrical outlet when  
finished with duplicate turning. Wait until the lathe and Lathe Duplicator Attach-  
ment stop completely before attempting to remove the pieces of woodstock.  
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING  
1.  
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Lathe Duplicator Attach-  
ment. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any  
condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. If a problem

occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.  
Do not use damaged equipment.  
2.  
3.  
For better and safer performance, always keep the Cutting Tool (31) clean and  
sharp.  
Daily, with a clean cloth, brush, or vacuum remove all debris fromthe Lathe Dupli-  
cator Attachment. Then, use a lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving  
parts.
