I'm going to borrow your concept and expand it to accept longer templates to turn longer shapes using a template. But the idea of mounting the template to the tail stock and using the four way tool post as the holder for the cutter and tracer is all from you. THANKS ! ! !
Atencion : Tenes un calibre de buena calidad ,quidalo. La marca BORLETTI esta` fabricado en ITALY ,esta` fabrica hacen los instrumentos de medicion para la FERRARI y otras industrias. .Por experiencia de Tornero te aconsejo ,poner una punta redonda en el copiador tocando el rodamiento. La herramienta de corte tambi`en si tiene punta redonda de 1/8' radio. Te deja la terminaci`on ma`s pulida y sin lineas or sept en la bola. Un Saludo desde CANADA.
Gracias por contestar , qualquier ayuda technica ,sera un placer de cambiar ideas . Tenes un lindo torno ( lathe en el an~o 1891 fue el primer torno de filetear Esta` en el museo de FRANCIA.) Saludos de un Agentino, en CANADA.@@technicamalik2231
Perfeito parabéns. As vezes preciso fazer esfera em em eixo mais faço usando os dois eixos. Esse rolamento que vc usa como copiador tem um ângulo exato pra ficar? Observei que carro transversal fica em ângulo também vc anda com ambos ou somente com um? Se possível me passa esse projeto?
Por o que intendi o rolamento é para copiar uma circunferência exata, o diâmetro que você que que fique na esfera, é através da regulagem da ferramenta vai tocando no rolamento, e o carro está em angulo só pra ter mais espaço em relação ao rolamento.
One minute in & already the music is so annoying that it forces me to mute. I hope that I didn't miss any commentary. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting idea. Not limited to making balls, I think. If there was a pattern held where the ball bearing is, it would follow that pattern. As long as it was not too long ... with no tailstock center, you would be limited by stick out. Oop ... I didn't see Bruce Matthews comment before posting. He beat me to it.
If you had a radius on the nose of your toolbit (it seems as tho it would be about 3/16 to 1/4 inch by estimation) the finish would be smoother. Ditto for the follower that contacts the bearing. Very nice idea tho. Thank you.
KISS! This is a great idea. One thing that 😊may not be obvious to a beginner is that the follower has to be the same shape and size as the cutting bit.
The shape yes, but the size isn't. It would simply scale the product, if the follower smaller the product would be bigger or the other way around. But I guess It's easier to just change the bearing if you want to make a different size ball.
@@ThisIsToolman well I haven't tried it, but in my logic if the follower following a sphere then it wouldn't make sense if the end product is cylindrical if they're at least have the same shape as the bit. That's what I have in mind at least, I might be wrong because as I said I haven't tried making one.
@@joefebri3236 Semantics is important. I’m forever wishing we could post images. By “follower” I’m referring not to the ball bearing. The other component “follows” the ball bearing. It’s actually tracing the the cylindrical shape of the ball bearing. Imagine a very wide follower. As it traces the cylinder, its wide nose glides across the ball bearing while the more narrow bit cuts a cylinder shape on the part until the wider follower finishes traversing the bearing.
@@ThisIsToolman ah now you mention it. What I have in mind is a bit less or a bit more than in size, but yeah if its difference is way too big that's definitely wouldn't be the same shape. I admit my mistake in this sorry for that. The size is indeed important. I didn't mistook the "follower" You mentioned but I suck at explaining, because I only good at passive English, but you did great at explaining. Thank You.
