I was wondering if anyone here has looked at trying one of these - RDGTOOLS BALL TURNING ATTACHMENT FOR MYFORD LATHE - eBay (item 350279380901 end time Jul-13-10 02:08:52 PDT)
I would prefer to make one myself, but I don't have a milling attachment, or access to a mill, so this is not likely to be possible for me. These ones look interesting. I emailed them and asked if anyone had tried one on a SB machine (mine's a 9C), and they replied "These are designed for a 3 1/2'' centre height lathe but have been used on many different lathes, normally you would make a packing piece?".
The price seems right, and the Youtube videos on their website look like it would work well...if it could be reasonably easily adapted to a SB...
Any thoughts?
