Create accurate spherical profiles, ball ends, and radius cuts with the BLUEFOX TOOLS 2" Ball Turning Attachment, designed for Myford and similar-sized lathes.
This practical ball turning lathe attachment mounts directly onto the lathe cross slide and features a bearing-supported rotating arm for smooth and controlled cutting movement. The rigid steel construction provides stable support during ball turning and radius machining operations.
🎯 A clearly marked Metric and Imperial adjustment scale makes setting the required cutting radius straightforward. The scale indicates the radius, so the finished ball diameter will be approximately twice the selected scale reading. For example, a 15mm radius setting produces a 30mm diameter ball.
🔩 The attachment is supplied with 1 TNMG16 carbide insert already fitted plus 10 additional TNMG16 carbide inserts, giving 11 inserts in total. Each insert provides 6 usable cutting edges, offering multiple cutting edges for machining applications.
The ball turning attachment is suitable for machining steel, aluminium, brass, bronze, cast iron, and engineering plastics, depending on the appropriate tooling and cutting conditions.
Ideal for Myford lathe users, model engineers, machinists, toolmakers, engineering workshops, hobby machinists, and general metalworking applications.
✅ 2" Ball Turning Capacity – Designed for producing spherical and radius profiles.
🔧 For Myford & Similar Lathes – Suitable for compatible Myford and similar-sized lathe setups.
⚙️ Cross-Slide Mounting – Designed to mount directly onto the lathe cross slide.
🎯 Bearing-Supported Pivot – Provides smooth and controlled movement of the cutting arm.
📐 Metric & Imperial Scale – Convenient radius adjustment using dual measurement markings.
🔄 Radius-Based Adjustment – Scale reading represents radius; finished ball diameter is approximately double the selected radius.
💪 Rigid Steel Construction – Provides stable support for controlled machining.
🔩 TNMG16 Carbide Inserts Included – Supplied with one fitted insert plus ten spare inserts.
🔥 11 Inserts Total – Includes 1 installed + 10 additional TNMG16 carbide inserts.
⚙️ 6 Cutting Edges Per Insert – Each TNMG16 insert provides multiple usable cutting edges.
📐 The adjustment scale is calibrated to show the machining radius, rather than the final ball diameter.
For example:
➡️ 15mm scale setting = 15mm radius
➡️ Finished ball diameter = approximately 30mm
This makes the scale useful when setting up the attachment for specific spherical diameters or radius profiles.
