mini ball turner
« on: May 14, 2014, 12:49:43 AM »
Nothing very unique about this ball turner other than perhaps the size...It clamps to the compound slide (tool slide). The two items to the left in the picture of a couple of balls that I turned are used as an aid to setting the cutter. In the same picture the larger ball is .178dia. and the small one is .122  inches. I think the pictures are pretty self explanatory...

That's the first, "light duty" turner I've seen........    :thumbup:
