Concerning using the Sears duplicating attachment on a Delta/Rockwell wood lathe

You're right about the flat cast-iron ways of both model lathes being very similar.

And, wood lathes's bed mounted accessories are a lot less tolerance dependant than say a metal lathe with V profile front ways (Delta/Rockwell too).

And, since you're a metal-worker, you're probably more than equipped to make any slight alteration to the tracer's clamping mechanism.

Why not "Go for it" and if things don't work out; Throw it back to Sears with your 30 day money back guarantee and a copy of your receipt.

Let us know how that baby works.

It's a special order that I've never had the privilege of seeing (touching, feeling, drooling on, etc.) on the retail floor.
