Ball turner to make 1.5" dia ball (plastic)? Toronto, Ontario

Just rough it by hand and then finish with file and sand paper.
 
It may be possible to use the existing compound slide on your lathe, if you can locate the tool .75 inches back from the center of rotation and in the center of the compound. If nothing else, put the handle (that you turn to advance the tool) on the far side of the lathe. with the tool on the near side.

Thanks, I tried, but couldn't seem to get it to work. I don't think I have enough clearance from the compound slide to clear it I think :(
