Single piece, simple ball turner.

[WmRMeyers]

I am just getting started with using a lathe and have a ball turner on my list of things to do.

Where is the pivot on you tool? Sure wish I could could see things live, posible a video of it in action would help.

But thanks!!

He's using the compound slide pivot, if I'm understanding correctly. Then all he needs is a block that puts the cutter on center. Swivels the compound, and that moves the tool in the arc necessary to cut the ball.

Though I'm with you on wanting more pictures and a video or two...
