| Metal Lathe Ball
& Radius Turning
Attachment
|
|
This
heavy
duty radius attachment was
designed for an Emco Maier
"Maximat Super 11" lathe but
it can be resized and/or
modified to fit most 9"and
larger machines.
It will turn convex radii up
to 3" diameter and concave
radii up to 4-1/2". There are
fine feed screws on both X and
Y axis movement for accurate
control of radii on the work
piece, allowing for flanges on
hemispheres and other
circumstances. The unit
features dovetail slides with
integral adjustable gibs.
The tool holder is designed
for maximum flexibility in
positioning the tool. All
component parts are very
heavily designed and the pivot
system has a very large
bearing area. Sooner or later
most machinists will need this
type of attachment for the
lathe.
The plans set consists of 6
sheets of drawings.
Specifications:
Quill Diameter:
1/2", Quill Travel: 1/2",

"I've
checked over the
very excellent
drawings and am
impressed. I'm an
ex-Boeing design
engineer, and I've
worked with a lot of
drawings and yours
impress me." - Jack
