Hi Jason,
 
I see what you mean from your photograph above.  Looking at the picture would it not be possible to mount the baseplate so that it is in the axis of the cross slide rather than across it, i.e. the mounting bolts/screws are in one tee slot?
 
 Thats a thought, I could just drill my bolt holes again so one edge of the plate is in line with the side of the topslide, would need to remove the cross slide when in use due to the extra length but thats no big issue.

Hi Jason,
 
Let me know how you get on should you do the mod.  I hope to be getting my workshop back soon and I'd like to build such a device for my new Warco Lathe (I think it is the same model as you have, the 280 V-F?).
 
Regards
 
Terry

I  have designed a ball turner, I think the one that TerryD refers to, that can cut right round through 180 degrees swing. It is described here:
The only real limitation is that the ball must be attached to something that drives it during the turning operation. As the cut approaches the driven part then this gets thinner and thinner and will eventually break before a complete ball is actually formed.
