mini ball turner.....
Divided he ad:
Thanks Bernd.... I tried and nearly got a clean job out of it!!
Why do you always turn the wheel the wrong direction right near the end?!??!
Well it appears that I may have a rival build on the go too.....!!
We shall see if I get put to shame on the time taken ehh!!?? :thumbup: To arms!!! :dremel:

Your not wrong there Bernd, Talk about sneaking up on you at the last moment!!
Well as I said it is still a very secure fit.... Should be a very usable solid little device.

I Don't know.... I think Eric might be posting pictures taken last month so that he can suddenly produce a working tool in a matter of days!!! ;D :bugeye: ;) Or maybe that's just my head running away with itself again???! It does that!! :-\ :thumbup:
I think it should be good to see the design differences etc.

I see the differences now. Eric's machine is a 7" X 12" lathe (I think) and mine is a 9" X 19". I have T slots on the cross slide and Eric dosen't on his. So bascially the mounting plate is different. The top end should be simular.

This is a very cool tool!!!! One of the things that I'd like to be able to do is turn nose cones for rockets. Ogives (both Secant and Tangent Ogives) are very popular designs. Since ogive shapes are basically sections of a circle, it seems to me that this device can be used to turn Ogive type shapes - using the tool in an offset fashion such that the tool is not centered on the X axis (for Tangent Ogives), and not centered on either X or Y axis for the Secant Ogives. It would also mean the tool would have to be designed for a much larger radius (i.e. a 'standoff' distance) but we would use only a section of the circumference (depending on how oblique the ogive is to be). Have you given any thought to this geometry and the attendant tool mounting issues?
Thanks!!
