## Overview

This Ball Turning Attachment mounts directly onto Myford and similar lathes, enabling precise turning of metal spheres up to 55mm diameter. Featuring a 6-edge indexable TNMG16 insert and a smooth bearing base, it offers adjustable height and dual metric/imperial scales for exact radius-to-diameter conversions. Crafted from durable tool steel with a ground finish, it transforms your lathe into a high-precision ball turning powerhouse.

## Description

This fits straight onto the cross slide of your Myford & similar size lathe machine. Comes with a 1 Indexable TNMG16 Insert for best turning finish and results with 6 edges of this single insert to use while working.. Total Height from Base to the Tip of the Indexable Bit is approx 53 mm . Can be adjusted through a packing for higher center height lathes. The Head can be adjusted for different Ball Sizes. Maximum Ball Diameter possible is 42 mm. This existing design is for a perfect fit and direct mounting on a myford lathe machine . however this can even fit to a larger Centre Height Lathe machine with some sort of packing to adjust it to the centre height of the machine that you are planning to fit it onto. The insert tip should be adjusted to the given reading for achieving the desired size of the ball. Pls note the scale is a radius reading, which means that for any set parameter on this scale, you will get double of it as the ball diameter. Example- If you set the scale at a measurement of 15 mm, you will get a ball size of diameter 30 mm. The scale calibration is provided both in Imperial as well as Metric standards. Bearing Base for a Smooth Rotation of the Cutting Arm through the handle.

Review: the ball turning attachment did not have calaberations on it as showen in the picture - the ballturning attachment works ok but would be a lot easer to set up with the calaberations on it
