DICKEYBIRD said:I tried to make a brass ball on the end of a thin shaft just like you've shown in your picture. I turned up the speed, thinking I'd get a really slick finish. What I got was a loud bang, the shaft bent badly and the ball beating the heck out of the tool. The insert gouged and grabbed the ball and all he!! broke loose. I was lucky it didn't hurt me or my lathe.
