this makes the balls center of gravity change in a way that the ball is pretty useless now. Not that you would use steel billiard ball anyways.

Ive been watching alot of machinist videos lately, and the amount it takes to center everything, zero everything out, making sure theres no wobble... its insane. He doesn't just lock it in the chuck and start cutting, theres faaaarrr more involved and that makes me love this channel even more.

I especially like the fly cutter/boring bar hybrid that you use to do the final shaping of the sphere.

@@jmc8583 It was always going to be decorative. No one is going to use a steel 8-ball in real pool game. It probably outweighs the other balls by 5-10x. But I was also surprised that he used a file at the end. If he had taken the nub and put the ball into the chuck at an angle, he could have used the shape of the rest of the ball to maintain sphericity.

No extra noise of talking!!! I want one of these!

This is stunning work

Does anyone else want to see him make a full pool tabel, balls, and so on and then play Billiards?

I can't ever have enough tools. After being a machinist for 30 years I've acquired a garage full of them. Now I need another BIGGER garage!

@@rollinrat4850 I know the feeling so I built the largest shed I could years ago. It takes up half my yard, yet my house is still crowded with the overflow and I still don't have a boring head!

C'est la première fois que je fois un usinage extérieur avec une tête a alésé, bravo

This would be an epic shift knob for a nice sports car. Neat project!

Wow I love engineering and this sort of stuff. Anyone asking "why make this" is missing the point. Its about a process, overcoming problems, maths, technique, skill, experience, enjoyment... If your job contains all the above, you've got a good job.

Why do you feel dumb? If you are a mechanic, this video can show you how to do it in a very simple way without a 5 axis cnc.
