✔️ Hardened steel cradle grips cross slides on 7x14 and 7x16 models precisely
This direct mounting tool upgrades your benchtop mini lathe setup by enabling clean spherical cuts without extra accessories. Sold as a single unit, hobbyists and machine shop crews use it to produce uniform metal spheres for decorative artifacts or replacement parts on frames measuring 7 by 14 inches and 7 by 16 inches (178 mm x 356 mm and 178 mm x 406 mm).
