Hello Con an,

What sort of a finish do you get when using a tool like that ?

I had a go and got a very ragged finish that needed a lot of sanding. Am wondering what tool profile to grind to get a better finish when using the copy lathe.

Do you think you could use it to copy very small fine things like chess pieces ?
