Totally over the top
G'Day Fellas,
To get my full monies worth out of the boring head I bought recently, I knocked up a mounting block, collar and handle so that I could use it as a ball turner in the lathe,
my first attempt went better than I expected and with a little refinement to my technique it should be a fairly useful toy (no boring heads were harmed during this project).
Regards,

But isn't that a Wohlhaupter?
There's probably a law in some country dealing with sacrilege like that

Hi Michael,
You are correct, I think it is a capital offence in Germany to do that to a Wohlhaupter, fortunately it is a Mizoguchi so I am safe as long as the Japanese engineering police don't find out, I deliberately used a split collar so that no harm comes to the 20mm shank, the block is cast iron and it should wear long before the hardened shank.
Regards,
Martin

love it
that look great.
a lot of diff ball turners show up on here.
i remember one when i was an apprentice that
instead of using a leaver to move the cutting tool
it had a rotary handle controlling it not unlike a cross feed dial.
