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 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:

Nice ball turner, the big question is, which came first the ball or the ball turner?! :lol: (on your handle)

The turner Nick, the ball on the handle was it's first job :dremel:

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:

Divided he ad:
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.
