Sphere turning jig "Heinz Risse"
This sphere cutting jig developed by Heinz Risse, who has been our regular demonstrator for years now during the demonstration weekend, has important advantages over the conventional systems. The cutting element is in fact a kind of gouge that is placed under a certain angle in the chisel support. The main advantage of this is that the wood fibres are better cut and that almost the entire surface of the work piece can be reached. The maximum diameter of the balls is 250 mm.
On the rear side of the chisel holder, there is a bore hole into which a special cutter head fits for turning miniature balls. In this bore hole, a conventional socket chisel also fits, which is perfectly suitable for preparing (roughing) of work pieces, among others.
The "Heinz Risse sphere cutting jig " is provided with a gouge shaped blade and a centring pin for positioning the device perfectly on the lathe bed.
