Lathe ball turner plans i have some.

[aametalmaster]

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

Here are some clearer pics of the blueprint since it wasn't too clear in some areas. I omitted the friction button and just went with a small piece of an old nylon bolt which was put in the threaded hole before the screw....Bob
