I first saw this tool on Prezzo's channel, and was astonished at how clever it was, it had never occurred to me that this would be possible on a metal lathe. I can see how anyone wanting to make steam-age models would see this as essential for all those brass finials and linkages on their Victorian/Edwardian models. Great for shower doorknobs, too!

Hi Quinn. I’m a newcomer to your channel. I’ve really enjoyed watching a few recent videos and going back through the catalog of old series and videos you have already done. I’m a machinist by trade in the US and really like sitting back and watching you work. Hopefully one day I can have a hobby shop of my own and make stuff I want to make instead of huge parts for our customers here. You seem very knowledgeable and I love the tempo of your content. I definitely subscribed and hope to stick around as long as I can. Thanks for your time!

Yes, Chris is using the traditional watch/clock makers form of free hand turning. It's how all the parts used to be made before precision slides were common on lathes. You can be incredibly accurate, but it does require a lot of skill. The turnado seems to open the doors to those who want an easier and safer way to go about free hand turning. The copy attachment looks really useful as well, for those repeat parts!

I finally got mine installed. I had to make a radiused thingy for a machine I was rebuilding. After getting the turnado mounted and set up I made the part out of mild steel. But then I had to wrangle the turnado off and reinstall my compound to part off the part. If I had to do a few parts it would get old quickly. I think I might try to mount a parting tool on the platform. That was the only drawback I could see and probably easily surmountable

Great review. I have the Turnado, but I don't have all the fancy accessories you got. That viewer must love your channel, because the full kit ain't cheap! I agree about the amount of force required to make it cut. I found it cut easier when using the opposite end of the tool bit with the large radius cutting edge. So I use that end unless the profile I'm cutting requires the pointy end of the bit.

Hi Blondie, I've just watched the attached video, and I love the attachment you've been sent. But I see you we're having problems getting a perfect sphere to match with the centre point. Here's how I do it and it takes all the guess work out of it. If you use the cross slide on your lathe and move the saddle along the length towards toward the aluminum bar, and here's the tricky bit, whilst rotating the cross slide back and forth, whilst moving the saddle towards the bar and moving the attachment back and forth with the crop slide, all at the same time, eventually the attachment will stop moving back and forth, you will then be in perfect alignment with your spindle centre. After all of the above, adjusted the tool radius and you will have perfect spheres everytime. It sounds a lot of hard work, but believe me, once you have the attachment on the lathe, it'll take less than a minute to set up!

Looks so neat. Maybe add a spring to provide the tool pressure for template following, and then all you need to do is move the carriage back and forth whilst advancing the slide?

Very similar to a wood lathe tracer. Nicely done.

For setting the radius... just make a pin that is the same diameter as the pivot pin but much taller, a little bit taller than the baseplate-to-tool tip. Set the radius between the pin and the tool tip with calipers, gage blocks/pieces, inside mic, or whatever. Remember to account for the radius of the pin. Might want to attach the radius setting pin to that table with a screw from underneath to make it extra snug. Depending on the kind of work you do you could keep itmounted most of the time on the bottom left or bottom right corner. Always ready but out of the way. The setting pin would work for both convex and concave radii. Similarly the setting pin would also be useful for setting the pivot pin in the correct location under the work. Now that I have mentioned it... I am kinda surprised that it isn't part of the kit already! Also since I think you have a DRO on that lathe it makes it even easier (but easy to set either way.) Hope that helps.

I think you mean Portrait or Landscape. 😄 Chris (Clickspring) seems to freehand all kind of complex curves on his lathe. 🤔 I guess we can't all attain his god-like turning abilities...

looks like an amazing tool!!!! i bet you could make some kind of pointer that registers in the plate below to get the radius tool lined up easier, just a thought.

This is an amazing little set up, glad I don't need to mess with it. Rock on Quinn! 22:00 "Theoretically if some had a shower knob from a previous project?"

That is super cool! Way better than my step turning adjustment tool idea 😄 now you gotta make a bracket to hold a piece like the shower knob in the other direction but make it easier to adjust the height of the template because I bet that's going to be really hard to get just right, especially if you have to do a full radius on the end!
