Can anyone tell if if it is possible to make 2-1/4" to 4-1/2" diameter
spheres on a lathe starting with cylindrical stock? And if so, what
king of jig and tooling would be needed?

Thanks a lot.

there was a discussion recently here about it. i'm sorry though i can not
remember what the subject line is/was. i vaguely remember there were a few
ways do to it, there was some computer program that would tell you where and
how deep to make slots, etc. maybe there's a applet in the dropbox? i
assumed someone would've already replied to your post. maybe try to do a
search here.

b.w.
