Attachment For Small Lathers Cut's Round Shapes Or Curves Into Brass Aluminum, Steel, Or Plastic
Stan McDonald, 402 Rosedale Ave., Foxboro, Ontario, Canada K0K 2B0 (ph 613 968-9516; E-mail: smcdonal@ kos.net): "I came up with an attachment for small lathes that's designed to cut round shapes or curves into brass, aluminum, steel, or plastic. The tool cuts convex curves up to 3/4 in. in diameter. Works great for making round ball joints, governor weights, railing knobs, round contact points for tools, nose cones, and many other useful and decorative objects.
  "Commercial turning tools like this sell for more than $900. My tool is made to fit most small lathes with a 4 1/2 to 11-in. swing. Sells for $75 plus shipping."
