Lathe ball turner plans i have some. - aametalmaster - 03-24-2012

Can be used for a radius cutter also. It will do a 3 1/2" ball on my 10" and prob a 6" ball on my 15". I have all the plans or you can get them off google but i have better pictures of some of the parts...Bob

Bob,

Could you please upload the plans to the "Files Section"? I would be interested in seeing those plans.

Thanks,
Ed
