best sphere jigs?

(1/5) > >>

seventhdevil:
might have a job of 50 or so 2 1/2-3" spheres to make and my big home built sucker for my 5" skittle balls is just too big and the cutters won't reach.

what is the best one out there and is this one by vermec any good???

Bill21:
That Vermec Jig looks pretty solid, I like the pedestal design. There are a couple of points worth mentioning thought. The cutter shaft is rather slim and due to the short adjuster you can’t get the cutter very near the post for maximum support. The cutter is 8mm dia and having used a flat 9mm and cupped 6mm in my sphere jig I think they would have been better served by using a 6mm. There is no handle for swinging the cutter round. Rather expensive.

Not tried the type but there’s this one on the auction site.
