Nice looking tool Johnny :clap: Shiny is good :thumbup: --- Quote ---Did you use it to make the ball knob on the handle already? --- End quote --- I'd hope so! surely that's the first job for any home made ball turner?? :beer: Now then, all we need is for Johnny to read the post in the top of the gallery page on posting video and we should have a show too :thumbup: :ddb: :) Ralph. |

I sure did make that ball on the handle with it. As you can see by the quality of my photos my video would be interestingly poor. |

Hi Johnny, I guess you didn't need me to do drawings, from the looks of things, you got everything done nicely, and given its already produced a ball, you have officially finished off a successful ball turner, congratulations, it looks good, it works, and its shiny, what more could a man ask for? :ddb: I think you'll need to keep an eye on keeping oil between its "ways", but the fact that all the real force is downward should mean you won't have problems with flex or the brass being less than up to the job. I'm glad you got it without pictures, because I haven't learned how to make drawings and such, much less post them somewhere. I'm still a tadpole in computerland, and not much in a hurry to change that, not any faster than I need to. :bugeye: :clap: :thumbup: Now you've got to let us in on the next project, and what you intend to do for an encore. Great job and I appreciate the build log :headbang: mad jack |

hello The next project will be a compound cross slide similar to the one used on the AA109 craftsman lathe. I Think this could be a very useful mod for my little machine. Not looking to have one that has to be removed when finished like the one that taig sells. I am using that one for my milling attachment anyways :) |
