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", Throat Depth:
1-3/4", Drill Capacity: 1/16",
Height:
Approx. 7"

"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." -
