This is one of my more popular balusters turned in soft maple. It measures 1 3/4" at the squares. The twist is called a barley twist. If you would like more info go to http://www.archturnings.com

    the cutter is a "v"groove type cutter. It is shaped like a "v" with "v" notched out of the bottom.

    Longisl

    I have $57,000 in the machine with access. I have a friend with their CNC version which goes now for well over 100,000. The tool support rides on hardened steel ways, THK I think, left to right. The x axis is hydraulic. But you are, no doubt, more versed in the mechanics than I am.

  • its called a v gouge. and thats a german machine made by hapfo. Lets not try to show off now haha let me see you make a cove twist with 3 orientations grove width at 1 1/4" and the step at 3/16. exactly. put a video of that and then we can talk

  • Definately a sweet machine to have around the workshop! I would derive much joy in building the cutting machine and making it commercially available. I'm going to guess that the machine which you are using isn't too inexpensive and I would venture to say that the cutting head cross slide and the longitudinal traverse are accomplished with ball screws and scr controlled d.c. motors for their travel. Yes, that's a really neat machine you got there buddy, a nice machine!

  • let see a video showing the back side of the cutter, or a close up of the cutter blade?
