Ball Turner, using a boring head

This ball turner is the over the top type. T have several boring heads laying around, so this was my quick and easy way to put together a ball turner. The arbour was a M/T #3, and I just turned it down straight. The holder was a spare boring bar holder for the QCTP, so no point making what I already have. The only parts I had to make, were the hub that attaches to the end of the arbour, and a handle to attach to the hub. I also machined up a holder to use the carbide insert.

Quick and dirty, but why not just use stuff that is laying about anyway?

Awesome out of the box thinking. Major result with minimum work. I believe my "to do" list just got longer too. Sort of maximum recycling. Thanks
