Ball turners are a must have. The uses for turned balls are endless.

Very nice looking project. Did you design it yourself? I think when I get some of my other projects done I’d like to tackle one for my Atlas lathe. I just got my M-Head Bridgeport running, so the milling would be easier then using the lathe attachment. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project.

Thanks Hopsteiner
The work continues, and I want to be very precise in the processing.

Work continues with the construction of the Turning Toolholders insert

I’ve been looking at your pictures again. I’m interested in getting a face mill such as yours. Unfortunately, I have an older M Head Bridgeport which uses Morse collets w/a set screw. Not a R-8.Where did you buy yours? This is a picture as I was rebuilding my mill. It’s been a long but enjoyable journey.

My machine is a Ceriani mill with ISO 30 connection, it is no longer produced

All the pieces are ready

Nothing beats quality, it's getting almost impossible to buy workmanship like this. Thanks for the time and effort to post. Cheers, Peter.
