Bernd,
You must be a wizard or summat....You go from a piece of flat steel with a horizontal line scribed onto it,to a fully blown ball turner in one pic.........Wow...teach me... :) :) :doh:
Yup some great pictures there and some nice work too in all seriousness...
I wish I had the 'creative' gene in me...All I do it seems, is to copy every one else.... :(
Must admit since making my ball turner, I've hardly used it...It seemed like a good project at the time, nice and simple to make...
Chuck in E. TN:
I don't have the creative geene in me either. That's why I really like this list. I get to ask questions like this and get great sugestions and examples.
I thank you all for your input. I am printing Ralph Petersons plans now. I remember seeing a bit of plate somewhere.... :proj:
Got it bad...

I hope that this site caters well for people like yourselves, we can't all be super inventors. But I am sure that you know and do a lot of things that others wouldn't be able to do by themselves.
That is why we are here, to help each other out.

I don't have pictures but I can tell you how to chuck up the 2 1/2" CRS for milling the slot.
Face off the CRS and scribe a center line. Drill and tap three 5/16" or 3/8" holes. One hole needs to be exactly centered as you will need a center hole anyway. The other two can be 1" from the center.
Take a piece of square or rectangular stock that will fit into your tool holder. Drill and countersink or counterbore three holes to match the tapped holes. (I use socket head cap screws in this situation). Bolt the two parts together, clamp them in the tool holder, and mill your slot.
The two extra holes should pose no problem for the finished product but you could bury a bolt in each hole, cut off the bolt head, and face of again.
I used a similar arrangement to adapt a drill press vice to the original tool holder that I replaced with a QCTH.

Revised 11/27 to add pictures.
Here is some pictures of the drill press vice I adapted to mill slots in thin wall tubing. This was before I got my mill.
