Mill a hemisphere / half sphere

mattinker:
The idea of using a milling machine as a lathe is a very interesting one. In the following blog, the author uses a horizontal mill as a lathe, he has made a surface plate with a SA40 (I think) taper on it.
One of the part where he uses the mill as a lathe is about half way down the page. It's in French, but I think that there are enough pictures to understand it!

It's an ingenious build.

Actually I re-Googled( is that a word?) put in 'translate' and it came up as exceptionally good English.

As Matt rightly says, it is extremely interesting stuff.

Merci mille fois!
