Emco DB-6
I was going through and cleaning up my dads workshop and I found a brochure on great looking lathe. I went and searched google but with no luck. I have a wood lathe thanks to (AIS,BHP,Bluescope) dad had friends in high places, the only problem it cannot turn large diameter pieces.
This brochure showed copy attachment and turning up to 400mm
Does anyone have ideas on a good lathe that can copy and is around the $2,000.00 or am I dreaming.

You would spend the money better on getting lessons on how to copy.
P.S. To see what I mean by good quality copy lathes go here:http://www.copylathe.com/
