This is a version of my radius tool I made over the last few days ,it utilises an old design .
It's made to bolt straight onto my lathe ,The preload on the swivel faces can be slightly preloaded then the bolt that holds the brass cap can be locked with a small grub screw threaded in from opposite end to the bolt this stops the sliding faces from coming loose or tightening when in use .I just need to get to the shop to buy some triangle cutters to finish it then I can turn a ball up for the handle
