Require careful setting up or you get quite a big neck. Work fine if you are careful.

I made my own much more substantial and ridged. It is loosely based on a design by the late Steve Bedair. Google will find it.

You can also use a boring head mounted in the toolpost to make a radius tool , the fine adjustment makes setting up a bit easier .
