Large Radius Tool
I never finished my post on the old forum about the large radius tool we made for my lathe....
Here's a selection of thread finishers made using it.... I don't have any detailed drawings at the moment but I do have a lot of pics if anyone is interested.....

Re: Large Radius Tool
I may or not post my "nurse" pics but here's some details of the large radius tool build.....
This tool is designed to be reversible and also to have a larger swing than conventional radius tool designs. For this reason it is fabricated rather than cut from solid steel and has a supporting plate that clamps onto the lathe bed....
I won't give dimensions or plans cos it needs to be made to fit your own lathe.....
Here's the main components... Here's a side shot showing the fully adjustable mounting into the tool post.... I'll post some more pics later but I need to resize them first.....
