    Default Bowl turning?

    Hi,
    can these devices be set up to cut a concave shape in the end of a blank, that is, hollow out a bowl to a set radius? It should be possible by moving the main pivot towards the tail stock and reversing the tool holder on the arm. Any thoughts?
    Mm. (visiting from the metal work forum.)

    Ok Been a while since I played with this,taking advice from wiser heads I made a rounded tool holder and offset the tool from its original inline to 25 degrees offset ,this will allow me to part off the ball if necessary ,just have to make another tool to do that now ,not difficult
    here's some pictures of the changes the ball is about 60mm dia , cheers ~ John
    G'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!
