I needed to resize some ivory snooker balls from 60mm diameter down to 50mm so I made a ball turning jig for my lathe.

  • Sorry, but I don't have any plans. It does work very well.

  • I'm pleased you like it. It was fun to do even on an old lathe like mine.

  • I have a 1961 Sears Craftsman lathe... still works wonderfully well. You know... I need to make a radius jig... if for nothing else than because it would be a very interesting project. Nice job on yours!

  • There is nothing wrong with an old lathe, my friend! Many of the older machines were built many times more solid than the newer machines of today!

    I prefer my Walker-Turner from the late 30's over my new lathe, which is a copy of the JET 12"x36". It's built like a tank and smooth as oil on glass!

    Uses a jack-shaft and 2 sets of 4-groove pulleys w/ a 3hp 220V motor. Spins 50rpm to scary fast.

    Roller bearings on the spindle. it will spin some HUGE wood off the back of the headstock!

  • do you have the plans for the attachment,this looks like it works great

  • @pcfaulkner

    It's not pretty when you have to work at one all day. But, here I am watching lathe videos :)

  • i could watch a lathe at work all day i tell you, nice vid gonna look at some woodwork now

  • Very good video you just gave me an idea how to adjust the travel of the tool..Thank you

  • Very well done -- and very high quality video, too! Keep up the great work!
