--- Quote from: Bernd on September 28, 2009, 08:17:01 AM ---John, Very informative thread. Interesting how you used the shaper and lathe to make that. :thumbup: Wish I could find a shaper over here. There about as hard to find as hen's teeth. Bernd --- End quote --- Bernd I Googled metal shaper and hit on 10 to 15 shapers, one in your neck of the woods. They ranged from 7" to omg". Happy Hunting :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Don't look for hens teeth, not much good in the shop/garage :wack: Cliff :beer: |

Great stuff. Looks a useful tool, I need to think about more fancy stuff to improve the look of my engines! Good work on yours John. It's the first time I've seen the pictures tonight. :proj: The list just grows and grows! :doh: Nick |

Just read the replies etc since I last posted.... Glad you liked the post John, Hope it'll help with tool alignment? The round tip idea works well.... I have a post on ball & ogive turning in the general tools section that shows the round tip I made and the result (in brass) Could easily put a link up..... But then that might stop you finding something else interesting on your travels? :ddb: I'll wait to see the results from your new tips John :thumbup: Ralph. |

My round cutter at work, sorry but it is not the most elegant tool post! Finished product! ... as I hoped the round cutter makes it easy to blend the ball into the socket bit. |
