Thats good I have some of that :-) and thanks for the link
My car is a ford mondeo st220 no nitrous I'm afraid
sorry for the poor camera phone pic
I don't except this project to fly along I have been in my shed nearly all day and all I did was put up some shelfs and tidy up a bit
I then spent far to long building this paper towel holder :hammer:

Ahh, Close to the modern equivalent of my car (still no external pic's available) Sapphire Cossy :headbang:
Nitrous could be fitted :borg: :) (although it's a lot of cost and will probably destroy your engine in a few months :lol: ) Not putting it on mine... Already blew it up once :doh:

And sturdy it looks too... :clap: How big is that roll!!!???
We're not in a rush on here, safe slow work is better than fast and injured :thumbup: (well that's my excuse :lol: )
Pic's at your leisure :coffee:
Ralph.
Mmmm... I wonder if I can get any more smileys into this thread :scratch:

I was only chatting at work the other day about ford sierras and how we had not seen one on the road for ages :(
This was bought on by the fact we seem to have loads of capris appearing lately
The paper towel is only a 8" roll but as I had taken the piss out of my fathers towel holder ( old broom handle and some string ) I had to make something better.
I finally have some steel to start building this thing now
You may notice the tiny insert in the bag well I plan to buy some carbide insert tooling soon and the ones I'm looking at come with ccmt inserts
so I thought I would buy one for the ball turner as all my future tools would share the same inserts.
This insert is also supposed to give a better finish in aluminium (bugger I forgot to order the screw to go with it)
I did not realise how small it would be. :doh:
Do you think I should get a bigger one ?

Hi Jason,
I've heard of oneupmanship.... But from a piece of string to that!!!! :nrocks:
Good stuff with the steel. Judjing from the size of your lathe and the steel you have there I'd say you want a carbide tip like mine? That one looks like it could be fun to mount too!!
Mine are the larger one of these, the smaller ones were used in the mini ball turner.
For size reference....
Hope that helps? (I just used a normal countersunk screw to hold mine down....trimmed the sides a little. M3 I think for the big one and M2/2.5 for the mini one... Was a while ago now... )
That insert you have there looks like one of the specials sharpened and polished for aluminium only?? Will be good to see what it does when you use it, I was eyeing those up a while ago...
The cars.... There will be ample opportunity to see hundreds of them on the 26th of September at a place called Stanford hall (apparently) just outside of rugby.... The roads will be heaving with RS's from MkI escort RS2000's upto todays new Focus RS's and I'll be one of them too :headbang: Should be fun :thumbup:
Capri's .... It's hardly surprising when you see things like this....
Ok, slightly :offtopic: But funny IMHO :lol:
Hope you're having fun making the turner :thumbup:
Ralph.

Oh, yes - I'm making one too !
but I have NOT yet decided what kind of bit to use.
I wonder why most of you use this "arrowhead"-like bit - why not a round one - normaly a round bit gives a better finish.
Correct me (so I can choose the right one for my ball turner) !
