I started to post a reply to January's discussion on ball turners but what the heck it's kinda spring-like and everything should start anew.
I just put some photos up on the Yahoo logan lathe site on my ball turner but since I spend very little time there (and I have a Logan), you probably don't either.
I still have to finish up making a real handle and I'm considering adding scale marks on the top. The unit replaces the compound and the carriage and cross slide are locked. All feeding of the tool (TNMG322)is done with the knob on the end. The inserts are set at 3 degrees and are set to the lathe centerline. When the radius cutter is puled all the way against the brass end, the tip of the insert spins at it's axis. The tool holder is reversible for grooving. My wife says I've got to start yard work now. -Mike
