Ball turner plans and drawings for 9X size machine?

[Rbeckett]

I am looking for a set of plans or drawings to build an adjustable size ball turner for My Enco 9X lathe. I wouls like to keep it as simple as possible but still end up with a nice and accurate ball turning tool. A lot if fellows seem to have them and I have a project in mind that would benefit greatly from rounded ends. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is one that isn't quite as simple but a good unit to build. It will turn larger dia balls also...Bob

55 year old magazine and the prices for powertools on Page 191 are not a whole lot cheaper than what they can be obtained for today. Not sure what the average wage was in 1960 but I am confident it was a small fraction of today's
