Copy Lathe

[JFC]

Does anybody know of a cheap and cheerful copy lathe if there is such a thing ? I need to copy about 10 spindles and i would need to invest in alot of cutters to do them on the Legacy . OR is there some kind of attachment with a pin at one end and a cutter on the other that can fit on any lathe ? Thanks , Jason .

Jason,
I suggest you also post this on the turning board - might get more answers.
