My ball-turning-jig ...

Ha, ha, - 8ntsane, yeah, that's 'lathing on a mill' - very good idea - I never thought of that !

I did some more pictures today - and while I had it dis-assambled I made an oiler for grease too - look here http://kelds.weebly.com/kuglevaeligrktoslashj.html

Now I'll try doing some balls in aluminum.

The new pictures are great. I think this just moved up to next on my todo list. This is the best design I have seen so far for my lathe.

Ksor, Always love seeing your posts/work you do excellent work and have a nice web page also. I think we'll be seeing your name in the "Project of the month" banner on more than one occasion:man:

I made a few hundred of these for the government. Radius was +/- .005. Except on the large ring which was .0005. Crazy I know but that's our government! Made the tool to turn the radius on the handle, not sure what became of it! The item as been around my shop for over 20 years, made from set-up pieces.

:thinking::thinking::thinking: ... a couple of hundreds of these ... I couldn't even find use for for a single one ...

what the _BEEP_ are they used for ?

Did you do the "trumpet" by "lathing on a mill"-method ?
