Too cold? ok you stuff the ball in a piece of copper tubing then chuck it.

I like that idea.

Lots of good suggestions for the future. This time I'll be going with Tom's suggestion of using a collet.

Thanks for all of the tips guys. Thumbsup

Nope, the more information I have the better. Smile

Ken,

It'll be awhile. I haven't had much time to spend in the shop lately because of my work schedule and I was fighting a cold for about 10 days.

I'm making a tail stock for my 5C spin indexer. That's what the brass balls will be used for. I'll be sure to take pictures. I should get some time this weekend to work on it.

Thats a REALLY neat design for a tailstock Ed.
On a second note, must be your mill judging from the dirt.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

That's an interesting design, definitely something thought up outside of the box. Thumbsup

I don't think it's Ed's Greg, his would be much cleaner.
