The better Ball Turner??

<< < (2/2)

Gerhard Olivier:
Yes inherently centred on the tool post.  I cut from the up position down left and right for ball.  To make a round shoulder it would be from top down or right (ts end).  It it is placed on a hight ajustable tool holder it could be persuaded to do ovals as well.

The cutting tool drawn above (rcmt tc insert on top of a round post) would aready be an improvement to what I have made.

The boring head is 50mm diameter -but only the tip of the cutter is close to the chuck so this gives a bit more space.
