Lathe copy attachment.

[Rorschach]

What is the smallest lathe copy attachment available? Something router based? Something under 300mm capacity would be good.

The smallest and simplest I have seen is the semaphores. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ads ... es&f=false

Yes I have used the same system, nearly all can be made of wood with a few blunted screws to lock the flags in the right place,
All you have to do is to stop cutting when the flag falls.

Here is one that uses an angle grinder in addition to the scraper tool.

There are some that fit small lathes like a 10x14 but they are not much use for much. You would have to make your own if you want to use routers. Do a search for copy lathe attachments and look at the images for ideas.
