I cheat and use the shaper.

A Fine bit of cheating Greg

Rob

Greg,

Nice, very nice

Notice he's using the same camera as Rob uses.
Nice work Greg, is it in process or now in use? If so any pics of it on the lathe? Any particular reason for using round mat'l? Or is it just for asthetics?

Thanks for the comments, I use a special shiny lens filter to get that finish. The body was made from a piece of mystery shaft I salvaged, hence the curve on the back side. Remember it being tough when I machined it.

Greg,

Wow, that is very nicely made

Nice balls too

DaveH

Greg,

Very nicely done
I am not sure weather to get a shaper
Or a camera with a trick lens
I use the boring head round shank tools in the same way

Yes, very nicely done. I really like that design. Simple yet effective.

Thanks for the encouragement. Trust me I don't get that finish all the time. I may have actually made drawings for the tool post but they'd be in DXF format if I did, wouldn't have a clue how to convert them to post.

Greg,

Email the DXF files to me and I can convert them.

Thanks,
