Product Description

A heavy-duty lathe ball turning attachment for accurate, repeatable turning of ball ends, spherical profiles, and radii up to 60mm (2.36"), suited to both professional machinists and workshop enthusiasts. It mounts directly on a standard lathe tool post and comes fitted with an indexable TNMG16 carbide insert for clean, precise cutting on concave and convex profiles, with simple, precise radius adjustment for repeatable results. A clearly engraved metric and imperial graduation scale gives accurate angle setting, and the reversible operating handle mounts on either side to keep hands clear of the rotating chuck, suiting both right-hand and left-hand users. Heavy-duty steel construction provides excellent rigidity, and unlike sealed designs, two access screws in the base let you open the bearing housing for easy lubrication and maintenance. Suited to ball turning, radius turning, concave profile machining, decorative metal components, toolmaking, and general precision lathe work on steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other machinable metals.
