How do I Use Double Roller Cutters

[jdrichard]

Need to see a video on how to use these. Help!

Hi JD,

You use them like any other countersink when you need a spherical countersink. Place over the hole and turn between your fingers. Re-bushing or re-jeweling is one example when you need to make a spherical countersink to hold the oil.

p.s. not meant that way but occasionally I use them free hand on the t-rest on the lathe to cut palm tree like grooves on a piece of 5mm brass rod to later serve as a handle for small tools. For Centre punches, hand levers and the like. Works like charm.

Thanks and what great ideas for additional use of the tool. I shall try:)
