Thread: Perfect sockets for spheres?

I was looking for something different but this is something like a gimbal mounted router, although here being used at a fixed angle.

As Bob mentioned there is potential for uncontrolled cutting especially on the first cut, a two fluted cutter will give the most problems with one flute cutting against the swing and then as the other flute takes a cut it will be tending to dig into the wood and will be akin to routing in the wrong direction, a spiral three fluted cutter should give far less problems in this regard.
Also as mentioned I would make the radius larger than the expected sphere size so the sphere sits on the edge only.
How would a pantograph style of setup go? I'm thinking of the Woodgears guy and his setup he made.
