This is my ball turning device.

I’ve seen several ball turning tools made from a boring head, they look pretty good.

I had one of the ball turning attachments like the first post and I didn't like it very much.  It was very light, loved to resonate and it was difficult to adjust.

When I bought a very nice used Criterion boring head for the mill, the import version I was using was regulated to lathe tooling, mostly used for a boring head ball turning attachment as described in Ade's video.

The one I built is here:



Works great!  It's very stout and much easier to adjust, especially for spherical turning which doesn't require any measurements to setup the tool.

I must make one of these.  :ThumbsUp:
