This completly cut out frame assembly is made out of 3/8 inch plate steel. The hard work is done for you! Take off some burrs, or chamfer edges and this frame is ready to be made into a nice, (up to 1 inch balls), radius tool for your metal lathe. Will fit any 3/8 inch tool holder for your South Bend, Monarch, Logan, Atlas, Craftsman, Hardinge or other metal lathes. If you have a drill press or mill with a vise, (or your lathe with a milling vise attachment) you can make one! Just 5 holes to drill! Now with radiused corners for safety, (no more skinned knuckles)! Why pay up to $150.00 to own one when you can NOW make one easily in about 1 hour? This pre-cut assembly will need less than $5.00 in parts to finish, (FREE IF LIKE ME HAVE THESE IN YOUR SCRAP BIN). You will need: a piece of .250 drill rod about 6 inches long, (depends on how long you want your handle), (about 50 cents worth) a .1875 dowel pin .875 inches long , (about 15 cents) a .1875 dowel pin 2.25, (or longer to clear height of your QC or lantern tool holder, about 25 cents) a length, (about 1 to 2 inches) of 1 inch brass/aluminum/steel round/hex stock to fit handle or wrench to, (about 10 cents to $2.00 depending on which material is used) (1) to (4) 8-32 set screws about 4 cents each. Exact number dependent on method of securing dowel pins to inner frame, either press fit or secured with set screws, one (or two) needed to secure toolbit and one tool handle unless press fit or can use (1) SHCS instead. (1) toolbit, HSS either .1875 round X 1.25 inch long or square if you can broach, (about 50 cents) I WILL SUPPLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND PLANS TO AID IN PUTTING ONE TOGETHER WITH EACH PURCHASE.
