PM me before you buy the carbide insert tool set up.

In most cases the total cost is determined by "shipping costs". I found that the actual duplicator price was pretty standard among suppliers.
I got mine at Penn State Industries and paid full boat for shipping. You can do better. If I had it to do again I would call Vega direct.
Yes, contact Professor M before you buy a carbide tool holder and cutter

I just called Vega and they said to MA, $229 + $15 shipping. Quite a bit more than some of the sites I checked out. Oh well, back to the drawing board

That's about right! Why back to the drawing board?
I paid $240 + $35 shipping. The machine is worth every penny!

Definately getting one. Just price was higher than 2 other sites I saw, which shocked me. I expected a direct ship from the manuf. would have been cheaper than the sites, shipping included.

So far, I've got the cheapest at $219 with $6.50 shipping. Probably going there
